Things To Know Before You Come

The elevator that takes you 31 feet underground into the unseen world of the missileer can hold approximately 6 visitors at a time. Although there are multiple tours conducted throughout the day, this does limit the number of visitors we can take underground per tour time. Tickets are given out on a first come, first served basis. Please plan your visit accordingly!
