The Atomic Testing Museum: Suitable for small children?

The Atomic Testing Museum: Suitable for small children? - Woman in Brown Coat Standing Near Brown Wooden Chair

A friend of mine is going to California this summer. Since he is generally very interested in science and technology he is considering visiting The Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. He has two small children (5 and 7 years) and is a little bit unsure if this museum is suitable for them.

For sure they won't understand a lot, but could they get scared by the exhibition there? Invisible radiation that can cause death, huge explosions and weapons of mass destruction may not be suited for small children, but it also heavily depends on how the exhibition is presented.

So can anyone recommend if the exhibition is suitable for small children?
