Visit one of the largest air and space museums in the world! See more than 275 aircraft and spacecraft, including many of the most historically significant and technically advanced crafts ever produced!

Both a National Historical Landmark and the site of several sequences in the 1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact", the Titan Missile Museum opened in 1976 with 75 aircrafts as part of the nation's bicentennial celebration by the Arizona Aerospace Foundation. Today, the museum boasts a collection of more than 275 air and spacecrafts from around the globe, and visitors can see many rare and one-of-a-kind crafts. Get up close and personal with a B-29 Superfortress, the SR-71 Blackbird, and a rare World War II German V-1 "buzz bomb," as well as President John F. Kennedy's Air Force One, and presidential aircraft used by president's Nixon and Johnson.

The Titan Missile Museum has five large hangars totaling more than 177,000 feet of exhibit space and the 390th Bombardment Group (Heavy) Memorial Museum is also located on the Museum grounds. History buffs will really get a kick out of the deactivated intercontinental ballistic missile, where they can actually descend into a former missile silo. The guided tours here do a great job of explaining not only the ICBM (Early Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) Systems, but also what life was like for the people who worked there. To get to the Titan Missile Museum from Tucson, take I-l9 south to Green Valley. Take exit 69 west l/l0 mile past La Canada to entrance.
