Group Tours
Bring your group to the Museum for an exciting learning experience. The Museum offers group rates for any group of 10 or more. Your group may visit the Museum at your own pace on a Self-Guided Tour or experience one of our Docent-Guided Tours.
Self-Guided Group Tours
Tour the Museum exhibits at your own pace. Your group members can choose which of our Museum Galleries to visit—or they can visit them all! Our Docents may also be available to answer any questions your group members have about the exhibits. (Please allow 60-90 minutes for your visit.)
Cost: $17.00 Out-of-State/ $15.00 New Mexico residents
Docent-Guided Tours
Our knowledgeable and friendly Docents will guide your group through the Museum. The Docent will narrate the exhibits for you and provide additional insights into the stories behind the displayed objects. For your enjoyment, we offer four different tour options:
- The History Tour—Learn how nuclear chemistry shaped our future. This tour focuses on the scientific discoveries of the atom, the Manhattan Project, the Trinity Test, the Cold War era, and the airplanes, missiles, and rockets on display in the Museum’s Heritage Park. (Please allow 60-75 minutes for your visit.)
- The Science Tour—Nuclear chemistry has a wide range of applications. This tour focuses on the science behind peaceful applications such as nuclear medicine and nuclear power. It will also touch on atomic history and radiation. (Please allow 60-75 minutes for your visit.)
- The General Tour—This tour gives visitors a general overview of the Museum’s exhibits. Your Docent will provide a brief history of the Manhattan Project and the Trinity Test, guide you through the Museum’s Heritage Park, where the airplanes are on display, and discuss with you the peaceful applications of nuclear science, including nuclear power and medicine. This general overview does not include as much detail as our other tours but is perfect for any group with a broad interest in the Museum. (Please allow 60-75 minutes for your visit.)
