SOUTH DAKOTA AIR & SPACE MUSEUM

Ellsworth's air base welcomes visitors all year round with the beautiful Black Hills Mountains. Possibility to opt for a bus tour and visit the museum free of charge.

The bus tour. The visit of Ellsworth's air base includes a visit to Minuteman II's basic missiles, where you can measure the power of this defensive system that protected the United States during the Cold War. An hour's visit is based on the first arrival, first served, so you can arrive early and think of having your ID card on you. Registration in the office just left after the museum entrance.

The museum. Located just outside Ellsworth's air base, the Air and Space Museum offers several exhibitions dedicated to the famous aviation people and traces the country's air and aerospace history on the basis of anecdotes, innovation and exhibition of unique objects and machines. You can observe, among other things, historic bombers, different types of aircraft or missiles.
