Yes, its a shame that the plane ticket is not cheap. Perhaps you could consider a holiday to the UK to coincide with the following NPL open day which I suspect will be in 2020. I only have access to my mobile phone at the minute, which I don't find as good as a PC for searching the web. However, a brief search would indicate NIST do not have an open day. Perhaps people in the US could contact NIST to see if NUST would consider doing the same as NPL, and making NIST open for a day, every year or two. Attach a copy of the visitor guide for NPL, to show what the UK does. That guide should be available shortly, but last I looked only the 2016 guide was online. I don't know if other national labs like METAS do the same as NPL. NPL open up all the labs related to the 7 SI units. The area open to the public on timekeeping is much more impressive than the area about the volt. But not every lab is open. I suspect that if you have a particular interest in a topic and contact the right person at NIST, they are quite likely to be more than happy to show you around their area. I am hoping to arrange to visit a couple of areas at NPL I doubt will be open to the public, due to their very obscure nature.
