Super bumpy gravel road in, but super worth it in the end. Also passed an old Atomic Bomb on the way in; pretty crazy.

This is a great little place to visit. Not necessary, but walking shoes are best for getting around as it's somewhat dusty being in the desert. Hands-on items you can touch make it a fun trip. Well worth the drive if you like to go back in time.
