This terrible piece of our nation's history is preserved lovingly in the amazing Sonoran desert. It is one of a small group of historical museums operated by a non-profit foundation, so your Golden Eagle pass will not work. Don't argue with the docents about it as I saw one man doing. Just pay the small entrance fee that helps this... More

It's the only Titan missile facility left in the US that's been kept in close to active condition. There is a small museum in the lobby area that can hold your attention as you wait for your tour to start. The gentlemen who were leading the tour were very knowledgeable about the missile, the facility, and the history. Group size... More

Being a school child from the "duck and cover" days, I found this museum to be very interesting. It is truly amazing to go down in the missile silo and launch facility. The size of these missile alone is incredible. But what's hard to fathom is the technology, that in one hand is so dated. While on the other, is... More

This museum is "a must" for people with an interest in the Cold War. It is a "one of kind" attraction (the only comparable attraction being a Minuteman facility in South Dakota) that brings back memories of the Cold War. Knowledgeable tour guides give an in-depth tour, complete with question and answer sessions, and even with a bit of "hands... More

This is a one of a kind site that must be seen and experienced. This museum provides an excellent snapshot of cold war history. This is the ONLY missile site in the US remaining from that period. During and after taking the tour, I was very impressed with the construction of the facility, the efforts put in place to ensure... More

My husband, 14-year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed this museum and the hour-long tour of the site. Sam was our tour guide and he brought the entire experience to life! So knowledgeable with a great personality. When my husband suggested we go on the tour, my son and I both sighed but acquiesced. Afterward we were so happy we... More

The museum and tour was very nicely done. It was interesting to learn more about some recent cold war history. Really enjoyed going underground into the control room and seeing what dedicated crewman did for so many years. I grew up in the rural Tucson area near One of these bases. As a little kid it scared the hell out... More

I was pleasantly surprised and what an informative and worth-while tour this was. The tour lasted an hour, which included a 20 min. introductory film. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Titan program and day-to-day activities and objectives of those who worked in the underground bunker. There are 55 steps leading down to the bunker, with an elevator... More

This is an awesome site to visit. Tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Inexpensive. Too cool. Makes you stop and think. Say wow, this is awesome.

Didn't know it was possible to view an actual missile. Enthuiastic and well informed tour guides. Very reasonable entry fee and a quirky store where you can buy old geiger counters and uranium marbles.
