Three Nike Hercules are displayed in the original bunkers. The base is open to the public, including demonstrations of the operational missile lift from the bunker to the surface.

Additional days may be added during the summer and holidays.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nps.gov/goga/nike-missile-site.htm |title=Nike Missile Site |publisher=National Park Service |access-date=2015-08-26}}</ref>
