American Museum of Science and Energy

This place was fun and educational. Admission price is reasonable. Lots of great exhibits. It was fun for my 8 year-old. He also enjoyed learning about the Manhattan Project. There is plenty of information on the history of Oak Ridge and two good short films. Also lots of hands-on learning exhibits to keep children interested. I like the puzzle exhibits, too. The place was mostly clean and we arrived after lunch and stayed until a few minutes before closing. If you are anywhere near, this is worth the trip.

This place was so cool. We recently moved here and have come to realize there is so much history in this small town. We took the kids and they had fun but we definitely want to go back without the kids one day to really get the full on experience and read everything without being distracted. I've never lived somewhere with so much history, it's just really neat.

Really cool way to spend a rainy day. We have been a few times to learn about the Manhattan Project and let the kids do some of the interactive displays. One of our favorite features of the museum is the Flat-top house that has been moved to the yard. You can do a walk through of this time capsule.
