This place is well worth a visit. It's not every day you can see a decommissioned nuclear missile and it's control room ! You have to book in advance. You can just turn up and if there is availability on a tour they will accommodate you. It's not expensive and quite interesting. They warn you to keep an eye out for rattle snakes in the surface areas.…

Make reservations as it is limited to the number of people they can accommadate every day. …

Very knowledgeable tour guides. More for adults than children.…
