To reach this location, you go through security gates, id, purpose. They let us on through but with restrictions of what mainly not to be photographing, which is fine. I understand about the security aspect. We didn't spend a tremendous amount of time in the area but did appreciate what it meant.

The rangers at the visitor center were very helpful and knowledgeable. We walked down Bathtub Row and saw the various buildings, including the museum, lodge, and one of the houses. The docent in the house that's open was a wealth of knowledge too. Since we had recently seen the movie, we especially enjoyed seeing the actual sites.

A very interesting and historic sight. I wish we had more time to explore. It’s part of the national park system but also has a local museum attached. The museum costs 5 dollars and we just didn’t have time. The buildings are original and the grounds are nice. We had a picnic lunch by the lake.

Walkable historic tour of original buildings and museum. Highlights for us was going inside of Hans Bethe’s home and peeking into Oppenheimer’s (I hear they are getting it ready to open to the public). The visitor center personnel were extremely knowledgeable and helped us plan our day in Los Alamos.

We saw the Oppenheimer movie and knew we wanted to visit Los Alamos when in Santa Fe. The ride to Los Alamos up the mountain was pretty. The town itself is small and walkable. We started at the NP Visitor Center and had a ranger who was very knowledgeable about the Manhattan Project. There are small displays in the visitor center. There is also a museum on property to visit - costs $5 but has lots of history. You can go inside the Fuller Lodge Boys school and the Hans Bethe House. The Oppenheimer house is on property but there is no entry. We also went to the Bradbury Science Museum which had a room and displays on the nuclear bomb. Worth spending 1/2 a day here.

Cool site and lots of history. Presentation from ranger was very helpful although you had to use a lot of imagination. Actually only a couple buildings remain from the '40's. And most of the sites and park are not open to public as they are now part of the super-secret Los Alamos National lab. Not sure if it is worth the drive from Santa Fe.
