Los Alamos: The Secret City of The Manhattan Project app for iPhone and iPad

Walk into the past during the pivotal time when the world was at war, yet again. Experience the environment that brought a group of scientists together to develop a weapon unlike any other in human history—a weapon to harness the awesome power of the atom. You begin the journey at 109 E. Palace Ave. in Santa Fe, to receive your initial clearance, take a bus ride into the mountains and begin your exploration of “the Hill.” From here, you will inspect famous structures of Los Alamos where the scientists of the Manhattan Project worked furiously to solve the mystery of the atom before the Nazis, in an effort to end World War II. Walk around like a first person video game or use the bird’s eye view to explore the town site and Main Technical Area. Upgrade your clearance and collect interesting facts and documents scattered around the Pajarito Plateau. Finish the tour and see the famous Trinity Test in southern New Mexico, where the first atomic device was detonated. If you happen to be in Los Alamos, use the Augmented Reality feature to open a window to the past and see the town as it once was during this pivotal time in human history.
