Manhattan Project National Historical Park offers plenty of fun, excitement, and learning opportunities. The main objective of this historical park is to preserve the history surrounding the sites at Oak Ridge, and technology that created the first nuclear weapon, which was used against Japan in WWII.

This site is truly one-of-a-kind. Visitors get to tour nuclear reactors, the buildings, and technology used to enrich uranium and produce plutonium, and all the other buildings and offices where over 75,000 people worked and lived between 1938-1943. The visitor center is located within the children’s museum because it allows kids to learn in a children-friendly way.
