It's really cool, the rest of the site would be boring (to me but I work there) I always enjoy the B Reactor. Also, the Hanford Reach is a great trip, float is better, but jet boat is fun too. More

I have been out there to the site many times when my dad use to work there. Without Hanford the Tri-Cities would have never been. More

If one has a chance to visit the reservation, please take it and pay attention to the old abandoned homes, towns and rlay stations as well as the nuclear facilities. More

It is hard to get on a tour...but worth checking back frequently because openings do become available! We have been on the B Reactor Tour and the General Tour and honestly, the B Reactor is better. It is a little shorter but the time spent at the reactor is longer and allows more time to learn about the reactor, nuclear... More

Very educational tour. Knowledgeable tour guides that take tourists back in time to how the area was built and operated. Very highly recommended. More

Tours of Hanford don't happen often, so when they do, book yourself one. My husband and I finally took the tour last spring and it was excellent - you'll see exactly why meltdowns DON'T happen, learn about the history of the area, and get the latest information on what happens on site. An interesting way to spend the day! More
