Bradbury Science Museum Description
The early history of the atomic bomb might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of kids' entertainment, but older kids and teens interested in science will be excited by this brand-new museum that's part of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Budding inventors will be particularly fascinated by the winning exhibits from R&D Magazine's annual contest of the world's top 100 inventions.
