We visited the Visitor's Center and watched the film to educate ourselves about what we were seeing. There is a loop road that is great if you are not mobile. Each stop on the loop offered different geological/Volcanic features and varying lengths of trails and hikes. In one place you can climb a cinder cone, another you can peer into a spatter cone, you can see the different types of lava flows, climb down into lava tube caves and more. Such a great way to spend a day.
2. Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 1 (EBR-I) Atomic Museum

A great little historic site where you can actually see how a nuclear reactor works, and how the parts go together. This site has great historical significance because it's one of the first reactors in the world to generate electricity, and the first reactor in the world to prove the feasibility of breeding plutonium nuclear fuel. It's relatively small, and it's free to enter. It may take you about 30 minutes to walk through the self-guided tour, we're about 45 minutes for the guided tour.
