At Bradbury Science Museum, you can witness the history of critical defense and technology research projects important to the United States. You'll be able to view life-size replicas of Little Boy and Fat Man atomic bombs and explore 40 interactive exhibits of the World War II Manhattan Project.

  Great specialized science and relevant history. Certainly worth a visit, not very hands-on for younger kids. If cold war nuclear history really interests you, follow up with a visit the the National Nuclear Museum in Albuquerque (pretty much all weapons related).

  This is a great museum and it is worth to see. You can spend few hours there and see history of atomic bomb development, nuclear testing and more. Although I was there some time ago (in 2011) my memories are still fresh.
