Tours
We are sorry but the tours to the Thunderbird Museum have been cancelled. The Museum is closed for maintenance.
Threat Training Facility (TTF) (The Petting Zoo) Group Tour
The Threat Training Facility is a collection of enemy weapons systems that have been tested by the US military. The “petting zoo” provides hands on familiarity with the enemy weapon systems. Note the SA-2 missiles, the Sukhoi SU-7 and MiG-17 out front, and the Mi-14 and Mi-24 helicopters out back along with dozens of other missiles, tanks and anti-aircraft batteries.
