Titan II Missile Museum


The Titan II Missile Museum is the only underground missile site that is accessible to the public. Visitors can view the 3-ton blast doors, the silo walls that are 8-feet thick and the actual Titan II missile in the launch duct. Visitors will also see the launch control center and experience a simulated launch.

Tours of the museum are offered through a one hour guided tour where visitors will stand atop the launch duct and view the missile in the launch duct. Visitors will then descend 35 feet underground to the launch control center to experience a simulated launch. The tour concludes on level two of the missile silo which provides another view of the missile in the launch duct. This tour is available for persons who are handicapped and only 25 people are able to participate in the tour at one time.

Another tour available is Beyond the Blast door where visitors will explore areas where the public are normally prohibited from seeing. This tour will show where the crews ate and slept, then descend 100 feet underground into the launch duct and stand directly under the Titan II missile. This tour is not suitable for handicapped persons and visitors need to be over the age of eight. This tour is held on the third Saturday of each month and reservations are required.

A Top-to-Bottom tour is available where guests can explore all eight levels of the silo and visitors need to be 18 years of age and reservations are highly recommended as this is a very popular tour.

Visitors are required to wear good walking shoes and only bottled water is permitted on the tour. Visitors are able to visit the gift shop to purchase many gift items; all sales will support the museum. Kids are able to participate in the Junior Missiles program and the whole family can experience the missile by the full moon. The newest attraction at the museum is the Titan Overnight Experience where visitors will experience spending the night underground.
