About
The Bradbury Science Museum is operated by Los Alamos National Laboratory in downtown Los Alamos and is free to enter. It has more than 40 interactive exhibits in history, defense and research galleries, two 16-minute films, and a hands-on TechLab for families. Since mid-June 2026 it has opened shorter hours while its restrooms are rebuilt. The county page lists it closed Mondays and on three holidays, and the National Park Service says only registered service animals are allowed inside.
Run by: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Community Programs Office.

Getting there

In downtown Los Alamos. The laboratory's technical areas are not open to the public; this museum is the public window onto them.
The pin marks the site itself, not necessarily the entrance (35.88160, -106.29900). Apple Maps directions go to the street address instead. Show on our map · Google Maps · Apple Maps
