Editorial Review for National Center for Atmospheric Research – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A bit like a junior-high science fair all grown up, this is where some of the nation's top scientists study global warming, wind shear and other acts of nature. It's located high on a bluff, tucked against the Flatirons overlooking Boulder. Youngsters will by enthralled by hands-on exhibits, learn about natural phenomena like lightning and tornadoes and get up close with an interactive model of the sun or the online weather kiosk.
