Titan Missile Museum

This is an amazing museum of a preserved Titan II middle and all the related launch equipment. It's worth the time to visit it!As a heads up - There are 55 steps in the tour!As part of the tour you start with a movie, then go down into the control room. From there you walk through a tunnel to the missile silo, with a Total II middle in it. Staff follows a script and it's accurate. So cool!It gets a BIG recommend from me!

Since I have experience with the Minute Man missile and my wife has never seen such an underground missile, we toured this site. It brought back memories for me. Great presentation! My wife truly enjoyed seeing a piece of history. Thanks to those who make this possible.

I thought my fiancé would have been the biggest missile geek of the group, but someone else trumped him when he volunteered himself and his partner to be both the launch control commander and second in command before we even knew there was something to volunteer for! The dude video taped himself and the whole mock missile drill in its entirety....tripod and all. An interesting experience for those who are interested in the missiles of the Cold War. It was neat that our tour guide was actually part of the crew back in the day. I personally enjoyed the AC in the visitor center/gift shop as well as the cool temp 35 feet down below when it was a scorching 111 degrees outside. $16.50 per adult. We had no problem purchasing our tickets once we arrived for the next tour.

Very interesting to see the equipment in the control center and above ground, and it was great to learn about security and launch procedures. Also a great flashback in the history of both the US and other countries. Under ground was a little warm and the tour was a little short, but it was as advertised. Overall this is a very cool experience.

The Titan Missile Museum tour is probably one of the most relevant historical tours I've had the pleasure of going on. While the museum is small and the gift shop even smaller, the purpose of the museum is the tour. Make reservations online for an available tour, they book up completely on the day of the tour.We arrived early and were were greeted by two very friendly staff members. We had plenty of time to walk through the two museum areas before starting our tour. There is a short video prior to the tour then you walk outside to enter the silo. Our tour guide was phenomenal and he'd only been at it for a week! He was able to answer nearly every question and was very knowledgeable about the entire operation. We descended down to the control room where we witnessed a mock launch and learned everything about a day in the life of a crew member. Having served and lived through the cold war, this tour answered so many questions that were in all of our heads for decades! It's a must do on any and all bucket lists!

It is a strange place to visit. Though the equipment is dated it looks like it could still be in service today. It is a masterful collection of engineering that came together to build a place that would service the Cold War need for years. The W-53 had a yield of 9 megatons and the Titan you get to visit was only one of numerous ones that were a part of this overall complex. As described in the tour, these were city busters. Though designed as bunker busters they could be used to level ALL the buildings in cities as large as New York, which is incomprehensible power. Their actual targets have never been disclosed even since their retirement in the late 80s.The tour guides are amazing and yes, two people from whatever group you are in get to turn the keys to "launch" the missile, simulating what would be an actual test run when this place was in operation.Today the land based launch systems are still a part of the triad. Their payloads may be smaller but their accuracy and delivery capability make them just as effective. It took a special crew to man them then, and I am sure the same is true for today for wherever they are now.Though I took the plain vanilla tour you can book on the website it seems like there might be extended versions available too. Unless this information is stale you could try to look up:Another 90-minute extended version of the regular tour entitled "Beyond the Blastdoor" adds a visit to the crew's living quarters above the launch control centre and in particular a trip down to level 7 at the bottom of the missile for a cool look up - you'll be taken down in batches in the silo's own elevator. These tours take place every first and third Saturday of the month; again, numbers are limited to a maximum of 20 participants and you have to reserve a place in advance (same contact details). The "Top to Bottom" tours are the most comprehensive. In addition to the regular stops you'll see all levels of the silo, including the launch duct under the missile and all levels of the launch control centre as well. Numbers are limited to six participants, who must be able to climb 15-foot ladders and fit through 2-foot-wide hatches. These tours that last ca. four and a half hours require not only reservation but also pre-payment (non-refundable). They are offered according to a special schedule between two and three times a month. On request, these tours can also be arranged on a private basis on other dates than the scheduled ones (for an extra fee, if you can't make the group size of six, naturally).

This was a really cool experience.The guide was aweso.e, the staff were all nice. Very, very interesting.

The tour guides were friendly and informative at this unusual museum. The exhibits give the visitor a taste of Cold War and rocket history. Availability of the discone antenna for ham radio operation was a unique treat. My qrp radio easily matched on 15, 20, 30, and 40 meters. Thanks to the Titan Museum and Greem Valley Amateur Radio Club for this facility.

Incredible experience. But a couple things they need to address: It would be nice to see the entire silo, like the base of the missile and the crew quarters. Would be nice to see more than just the control room.The tour guide must have been new. He had to read from a cheat sheet folder. He didn't know answers to some basic questions, like what did they use for the oxidizer and fuel.Took some friends that were in town and they enjoyed it.

Great tour. Laid out well. Would like to see overnight stay options. Would be willing to pay first an alert cycle with 3 others.
