Worthwhile experience
This was fascinating and well done. You have to go online and make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance. Fortunately there were some cancellations and we got in on short notice. My 10-year old learned a lot about the history of this place and that time period as did I.

Humbling
The tour of the Hanford reservation was a surreal experience for me. I remember, as a kid, watching my dad walk to the bus stop every morning with his lunch box and return every evening, not having any idea as to just how long he sat on the bus to get out there. Of course, he could never show us where he worked. He also never spoke of it to my knowledge. Being able to finally visit the site in 2019 after it opened to the public, I was in awe of the whole project and the people who worked there. I am grateful to have been able to see it at long last.

An Excellent and Interesting Tour
An excellent tour that begins at the visitor center on Logston, with a brief overview held there and then motor coach ride of approximately 45 minutes out to Hanford site. Free of charge. Very well done and enjoyable experience. Some interesting history of how all this came to be and how the reactor works. Some technical staff located at the site for the tour were very knowledgeable and interested in responding to questions not addressed during the normal talks. An enjoyable half-day experience. Definitely would recommend if in the area.
