Tour Information

45-minute guided Underground Tour

On our 45-minute guided tour, you’ll descend 35 feet into the missile complex, visit the launch control center, and experience a simulated launch of the missile. Then you’ll journey down the cableway to level 2 of the missile silo to get an up-close look at the Titan II missile itself.

Walk in the footsteps of the brave men and women who operated America’s largest land-based missile ever deployed!

*Note: Visitors who are not able to descend and climb 55 stair steps for the guided tour can still enjoy the surface portion of the missile site.

Self-guided Topside Tour

Explore the ‘topside’ surface of the complex: On the topside, visitors will see the alarm systems, known as tipsies, that secured the missile silo door, an up close view of the missile’s engine, and tour a variety of vehicles relevant to silo and site as well as other Air Force operations. The silo doors are open enough to look down into the 146-foot missile silo and see the Titan II Missile standing tall as it did on Alert for over 20 years.

Self-guided tour tickets for the ‘topside’ are $7 and include an audio guide device. See below for more details. 

AUDIO TOUR

An Audio Tour device that gives guests an in-depth description and history of some of our topside exhibits is included in your topside access ticket. You can also request this device for an additional $7 if you take the underground Guided Tour. 

  • We recommend one device for every two people in your group (though more people can listen at a time).
  • Tour devices are compatible with headphones/earbuds that have a jack (not compatible with wireless headphones).
  • Available on a first come, first served basis, and cannot be reserved ahead of time.
