Any Cold War history buff - or anyone who lived through the Cold War, should make a point to visit. The tour of a decommissioned and restored Titan II missile silo and command center is really well done. If in or near Tucson, its about 30 minutes to the south and worth the trip. The tour includes a simulated launch... More

Of course this missile has been dismantled, no nuclear stuff or dangerous raditation but still a bit creepy if you think about it. In our "living history" this was a serious thread from the Cold War. We as Europeans now a lot about it, being in the middle of it. I'm very intested in everything from the Cold War and... More

My experience at this museum was fantastic! One tip though...take the "Top to Bottom" tour. I planned a whole day around this museum and it was worth it! I love checking out museums in my travels and RARELY do you get such a real experience that you have to wear a hardhat, be willing to get a little grime on... More

I went along with my partner, and I will be honest, its not normally my cup a tea. I would recommend you either book or go in between half past to quarter to the hour as you have to go on a guided tour, which are on the hour. The tour is just over 45min and on top of that... More

Seeing the 10 story Titan II missle was impressive enough, but all of the history behind the instilation of 54 of these missles is not to be missed. The basic tours occur hourly while others have specific schedules with the most indepth tour requiring reservations. WWIII was thwarted with the threat of these missles in the 60's. Hopefully they will... More

Fantastic... As someone who served in the British Military during the cold war, this was something very special to see... All the staff at the museum are volunteers but most are ex military who actually served at these sites and really gave the feel of what it must have been like to sit, waiting for the order that thankfully never...

As the only Titan Missile site left in the US, we were fascinated by the history. Going down into the silo, seeing the decommissioned missile and control center and the knowledge shared by our docent was wonderful.

The only remaining Titan II Missile site it epitomizes the effort made by the US in the cold war. The Museum area is well laid out an provides a good perspective for the one our film docent lead tour that follows. A number of the docents are former crew members, but all docents are excellent and provide a unique insight... More

This decommisioned ICBM silo (complete with inert missile) makes for a fascinating hour-long tour. Guides are knowledgeable; topic is fascinating; exhibits are riveting. A central and indispensable part of Cold War history. All I can add to the fine previous reviews for the TMM is this: focus on the myriad details -- they're all important. Note the polished edges of... More

What a wonderful piece of history. It's mind boggling to think how close the world was to a nuclear war. This is a must see for children that really don't know about the cold war. It sent a chill up my back when they did the re-enactment of a missile launch. Next time we're going on the tour of the... More
