Hi Tonya! Thanks for posting this - I didn't know about it. My brother recently took my niece on a field trip there and he said it was really impressive. I will be going the week you mention, for sure!
ReplyDeleteTanya, I really think you'll enjoy it. My kids and I really loved it. When you leave the museum make sure to check out the International Friendship Bell which is right around the corner. http://bell.maripo.com/
ReplyDeleteYou can also see the plant where the Manhattan Project transpired. As of a few years ago they still offered tours but I don't know if they still do.
