    The tour guides are so knowledgable and friendly! I'm a local and I love going to the nuke museum. One of my fav places to go in AVQ!

    This is an interesting and unusual place. Lots of interactive exhibits. Loved the 50s and 60s comic books, movie ads, propaganda posters. Worth your time. Planes on display outside too.

    Awesome tour...little resemblance to the old National Atomic Museum, but not a bad thing. Nuclear hardware graveyard out back is cool! Some exhibits seem anti nuke preachy, but whatever...

    Dragged my dad and my uncle here because I thought it looked cool - it exceeded my expectations! Make sure you allow a few hours, there is a LOT of information to absorb here.

    Very neat place to visit. Plan on at least 1/2 day. If you get a chance to talk to the retired military volunteers they have a lot to share.

    The former museum site was used in the 2008 AMC television show Breaking Bad in a storyline as a drug drop area. It appeared in several scenes.

    Voted best museum to buy gifts for kids in Albuquerque, NM. Which is saying something - Albuquerque has a lot of museums.

    Great place to learn about things Nuclear. Make sure to go outside and check out the planes and missiles.
