Titan Missile Museum
The only Titan II intercontinental missile silo open to the public, where you can go underground to the control center and simulate the launch sequence, with the missile still standing in its silo.
The Titan Missile Museum is located in Sahuarita, about 40 km south of Tucson. It is the only one of the 54 Titan II missile sites of the Cold War that has been fully preserved, and it is designated a National Historic Landmark. Visits require joining a guided tour of about one hour. You descend into the underground control center to see how duty officers carried out the two-key launch procedure, then look through observation windows at the 103-foot missile still standing in its silo, with its warhead and fuel removed. Admission is about $20, and advance online booking is recommended during peak season. A more in-depth "Top to Bottom" tour is also available. It pairs well with the Mission San Xavier del Bac and Tubac in a single route.
