The Pima Air and Space Museum opened for business in 1976 and today is one the largest and most diverse aviation museums in the world with an onsite restaurant and museum store. The museum has 80 acres of public display grounds, exhibiting over 425 aircraft both outside and indoors across 300,000 square feet in 6 display hangars and has in its small artifact collection over 125,000 artifacts including the archives and photo collection, covering the age of aerospace from 1903 to the current day. The museum attracts more than 190,000 visitors annually.

The Titan Missile Museum opened in 1986 and is the only publicly accessible Titan II Missile Complex of the 54 that were on alert from 1963 to 1987. It is one of two intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) sites in the world that have been preserved for the benefit of the public. The Count Ferdinand von Galen Titan Missile Museum Education and Research Center is situated directly adjacent to the missile complex and houses an exhibit gallery, museum store, classroom and a state-of-the-art archival storage area. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994, the underground missile complex was built to withstand virtually all but a direct hit from an enemy warhead. Located in Sahuarita, Arizona, over one million visitors have toured the facility, experiencing first-hand the chilling reality of the Cold War. Armed with the largest warhead ever deployed on an American ICBM, the Titan II represented a critical part of our nation's defense in a war no one could win.

Tucson Military Vehicle Museum's collection spans from World War I through the Gulf War into the present day - unveiling the power, innovation, and legendary stories of the armored giants that dominated the battlefield. Every mission is represented from reconnaissance and logistics to the force at the front lines, where machinery from opposing armies comes head to head once again here at the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum.
