Delta-09 Minuteman Missile Silo — Attraction in Wall

Such a cool experience to see the actual missile! Make sure to checkout the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site Visitor Center first and learn all about the Missile history! Because when you come out to the actual middle sight there is some information by the bathrooms but not nearly as much as what’s at the visitors center! Make sure to checkout the information board by the bathrooms as it lists a phone number you can call for a guided tour!

I couldn’t find their hours of operation anywhere on their brochure or their website. And google only lists the time for the visitors center. We went on Monday but they were closed. Then I saw where google said they are open from Wednesday-Sunday. 8-4. So Wednesday we get up early and go. It was open like they said. But the delta 09 didn’t open until 9. Makes it hard to plan your trip or days when there is not hours listed or the places with multiple locations have different operating times.

The silo itself was a little underwhelming. You could barely see anything because of the sun reflecting on the glass. Again you may go later in the day and it...
