Fodor's Expert Review Minuteman Missile National Historic Site

This remote piece of United States history just north of Badlands National Park gives visitors the opportunity to tour a decommissioned Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) site, the first national park in the world dedicated to the Cold War. Start at the visitor center at I--90 Exit 131 to watch a film and view informative exhibits. The second site is the Delta 01-Lanch Control Facility at Exit 127. It's open only to visitors with tickets to the ranger-led tour that are available at the visitor center on a first-come, first-served basis. The next stop west, at Exit 116, is the Delta-09 missile silo, which has exhibits and a self-guided cell phone tour that describe the site and give visitors a view down into the silo.
