This is the only intact silo and Titan missile remaining in the country of the 54 that were built. The rest were destroyed under the terms of the SALT Treaty. The guided tour is run by a retired AF member who actually worked with the missiles. You get to go down into the control room, living quarters, and silo, with... More

This was a great time with my grandkids to relive what I went through being in the Air Force during the 1960's. The technology used back then seems so simplistic. I am so glad that on missile site with the titan missile still exists. More

This is the last Titan Missle Silo and launch control left in one piece. It's a frightenng reminder of the "mutually assured destruction" that was the basis of our national defense policy during the Cold War. After entering the missle launch control room, the docent walks two members of the tour through the launch procedure for a nuclear weapon. The... More

Who knew that this unexpectedly engaging peek into the 60's was plunked in the middle of nowhere? The museum is only about half an hour south of Tucson and just off I-19, but a visitor gets a feel for how remote the place was when it was in operation. The introductory video is a good explanation of the politics of... More

This isn't just a museum: you know, with pictures on the wall, a few artifacts behind glass, maybe a video... this was it, the real thing, and now you can go see it. You can tour the silo, the control center, and a lucky member of your group might get to turn the launch key... My airplane obsessed nine yr-old... More

This is a trip back in history to when American was dotted with underground missile silos. This silo was preserved and is much more interesting than one would think. See how the crew lived, the responsibilities, the equipment and the size of the whole thing. More

Visit the rare display of an Inter Continental Ballistic Missile if you are in the Phoenix area. A must for all World War II and missile aficionados. The top to bottom and behind the glass doors are one of the best. Most of the guides have reached retirement age, or nearing it, but you'll not see a blink in their... More

Weird, wild stuff. Stopped here on return to Phoenix from Tombstone - definitely worth the detour. We took the one-hour tour. A two-hour must be awesome. It's a TITAN missile for cryin' out loud!! At one point, we had 56 of these thing armed with 9MT thermonuclear tips ready to launch. Our tour guide was retired Air Force, so he... More

While in the area decided to go to the Titan Missile Museum as it is the last of the 54 missile silos of its kind left in the US. Did the one hour tour (there are longer ones on certain days- see their website) and it was very informative. My favorite part was going down into the missile silo. I'm... More
