I knew my Dad worked with nuclear missiles while in the Army but never quite understood what he did until going to the Nike Missile SF-88 site, now run by the National Park Service. It was a great experience. The site is laid out well with lots of signs about the program and location. But even better were both the Park Ranger and the Docent (who had worked on Nike Missiles in his youth). Their knowledge was incredible and their willingness to help explain the story of America's defensive nuclear missile was great. Even my teenage kids enjoyed the tour and getting a better idea of what Granddad did oh so many years ago to keep our nation safe. Plus the site is located in the beautiful Marin Headlands north of San Francisco.
This was a part of our tour in the area and we were blown away with the personal stories and history of this site. If you haven't been.. it is definitely a must!
Amazing! The site has been restored to functional by veterans that served there. Ranger Jim gave us a thorough and fascinating tour even though we showed up close to closing time. Fascinating history insight of the Cold War.
Very interesting place. Full of historical information, and missiles! I would highly recommend this!
Nuclear missile program museum with free entry, what more could you want?! The guides are volunteers that served when it was an active site and have a lot of stories and historical information on the program. It is easy to spend an hour learning about the site. Afterwards we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge viewing area to have lunch.
