Wonderful display of antique airplanes and aerospace weapons. Unfortunately, we arrived on a Sunday…read moreand the inside hangers were closed. However, walking the grounds and reading the details/specs on display was interesting. Provided pics of the first nuclear missile (circa. 1960) - the Titan I which required 15 minutes to lift it then load its required fuel BEFORE liftoff could occur......Boy, not a very good defense during the cold war! Also, was impressed with General then President Eisenhower's private WW II plane was customized for his military surveillance throughout. Would have liked a walking audio tour and the aircraft maintained and painted to original era but considering the FREE price of admission (FREE-but subsidized by our tax dollars!), one cannot complain.

Another great museum for the price of free. You can give a donation if you'd like. Spend a couple…read moreof bucks ($5 suggested) to do the virtual F-16 fighter plane experience though! It was fun, and John S, the volunteer who helped us out, was very lovely and a great plane flying teacher. He had a great sense of humor and was so friendly as well! There are lots of exhibits with lots of history. Lots of cool and rare plans to look at as well. The information on inside hangers was interesting and dealt with lots of different eras of history. Staff all around was very nice, and you can feel their passion for aviation.

I started reading the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee before starting this trip. When we…read moreapproached Wall, SD, I saw signs for Wounded Knee The Museum nearby. So when we made our scheduled stop at Wall Drug, we decided to also stop here. We initially went too their temporary location following our GPS where they were while their permanent location was restored after a fire. Then we got directions to their actual location. It's not very large but there are many exhibits and a short film so you can spend under an hour to several hours depending on your schedule and level of interest. They also have a number of interesting items in their Gift Shop including books and shirts. Admission to Wounded Knee The Museum is $6 and they have a senior discount to $5.

It was all reading - (no movies, tour, etc.) which was very well done. My kids were SO bored, though - they are just too young to do all of that reading and really didn't get anything out of it. More for teenagers/adults.

Interesting place to see!…read more Sure brought back memories as a young child being told to duck under my school desk and close my eyes in case of nuclear explosion. That's right we had nuclear explosion drills in grade school grown up. I use to come home and tell mom and dad about our drills at school and dad would just laugh. He witnessed 3 atomic blasts, one of them was the hydrogen blast and another was the big bikini atoll blast. He understood that ducking under your desk, ain't gonna do squat if a bomb goes off nearby. This museum is a must go to site to see when American was battling the Russians during the Cold War Era. Excellent place to see a different part of American history! I hope to be back soon!

This review is for the missile silo, as there's another listing on Yelp for the visitor center. I…read morevisited the Delta-09 missile silo complex as I couldn't get in on the tour for the Delta-01 Launch Control Facility (which is limited to 6 participants). There's a small unpaved section of the road to get to the parking lot, and cattle also graze here. The juxtaposition makes for an odd sight, but it was also the reality when the missiles were in operation! There's a small covered area next to the parking lot which has information about the missile, and then a cell phone tour for the parts of the missile. Unfortunately it was very windy so I couldn't hear that well over the wind. It was very cool to peer down the viewing enclosure to look at the deactivated training missile in the launch tube!

I've seen some pretty cool ones, but this place was something special. My son and I spent a couple hours exploring the old school house and there are so many artifacts of times gone by.
