A really long time ago they used to do school tours of one of the bunkers. They stopped doing that decades ago though.

From the post:

>The drive to F.E. Warren Air Force Base’s nearest Missile Alert Facility, home to some of the nation’s actual nuclear buttons, is long. It starts in the heart of urban Cheyenne, but becomes rural and remote far sooner than expected. I’m on this drive with a small crew of other media on what I later learn from F.E. Warren’s former military base commander Tucker Fagan is an extremely rare opportunity to tour one of the underground capsules from which America’s missiles would be launched if they are ever needed. These bunkers lie between 60 to 100 feet underground in chambers that have been hardened against attack. There are no missiles in this capsule, but there’s a team of two missileers perpetually ready to take orders from the president to launch nuclear warheads at enemies who, presumably, have already launched them at us.
