Safety Requirements For Delta-01 Tours

Visitors who wish to participate in the underground part of the tour must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Be physically capable of climbing two 15 foot ladders unassisted. These ladders are permanently attached to the wall and are very sturdy.
2. Children must be at least 40” tall, six years of age, and be able to climb the ladder unassisted.
3. Be comfortable in a small elevator in close proximity to six other adults.
4. Be comfortable with heights of approximately 35 feet or about 3 stories. The elevator door is an open grate, not a solid door.

The underground control center was not designed to accommodate the general public. It is accessed by an elevator and a ladder. In the event of an elevator failure, visitors that are underground will need to be capable of climbing the ladder for a safe and timely exit. Entering the control center also requires passing through a narrow corridor.
