bigjim Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Double check the dates on this as I seem to remember reading something last year that it was going to be reduced to one time per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg112 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Highly recommend the Tularosa caravan noted in the website. Else you need to get in line at who-knows-when a.m. and/or wait to be metered in as vehicles leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't think they pay enough for my 'services' as a guinea pig . I might consider it after I'm dead , but maybe not even then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Might just be passing that way at the right time? I have heard that people who visit are just radiant when they depart! For more particulars on the opportunity, check out the Trinity Test Site web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 They have the open house at the Very Large Array on the same day. A few years ago, we went to the Trinity site in the morning, and then to the VLA in the afternoon. The VLA open house has tours by staff members. We did some tours and then went to a talk by an astrophysicist late in the afternoon and were the only ones there and it was more like a conversation than a talk. It was great.

Kirk W Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 We visited the VLA some years ago and at that time the tour was self guided. It seems that now they do have guided tours each Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
