Take a drive out to Los Alamos, there's a great historical museum about the lab and the lab library is open to the public. After you go through security you can drive highway 501 which skirts around the lab - kinda neat looking at all the buildings with non-descriptive "tech area" names. and of course there's the U.S. Property - Lethal Force Authorized signs.
There's also Valles Caldera National Monument, a dormant volcano. You can drive on the caldera and visit the park headquarters, it's a neat drive and cool headquarters building.
I stayed at Trailer Ranch, as they were open year around and I was there early January. They don't allow kids (21 and up), and the place is mostly a trailer-park and only small portion is "campground" ... no complaints about my stay - they had electric, cable tv and hot showers. Water was turned off at the site but available from an out building. They're pet friendly with a fenced in dog park past the trailer-park section.
If you ever watched the Longmire series on Netflix, Walt's cabin is in the Valles Caldera. You have to stop at the visitor center to get the free permit to go on up to the cabin.
