    This small and modern museum sits at the Cactus Flat exit on I-90 on the north side. The only other entity that I could see is a Conoco gas station on the other side of the interstate. The museum has its own parking lot and doesn't charge any admission fee but they do have a donation box and is run by the National Park Service. Inside the foyer is the information desk manned by Park Rangers and a very small gift shop too. Another important point to remember is that there are no food or drink concessions here. The museum has a separate room that can be used for meetings (probably seats 75 people) and usually used to show a 25 minute movie about the missileers who manned the ICBM silos in the US including some very close to this site. Also in the museum is a self guided tour that reviews the history of the ballistic missile program in both here and the old USSR. This tour also shows how the missiles work and their destructive force. The tour takes about 15 minutes to go through at your own pace and is enclosed in the museum. Separate from this location are two old missile sites that are available for visits. They are located between the museum and Wall, SD about 20 miles to the west. Both sites are very close to interstate exits so they are easy to get to. One site requires an appointment for a ranger led tour that is only given during the summer. The other site allows visits during opening hours with a cell phone guided tour that allows you to walk up to the silo and look in through glass windows but not enter it. If you are going east to west stop at the museum first. If going west to east you can stop at the old silo sites first before coming to the museum. I was not able to visit either site due to the weather that day. On the day of my weekday visit last week, the museum was busy with visitors. This museum is in the middle of nowhere yet still draws a crowd due to its proximity to I-90, content subject and free admission. Also this interstate exit is one of the primary ways to go to the nearby Badlands National Park about 10 minutes to the south. Budget anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending if you see the movie. This museum is worth your time to visit.

    What can you say about bringing your kids to a Nuclear Launch Facility on vacation! A great memorial for all those USAF personnel that worked ICBMs. Worth a stop, and good history lesson for the kids.
