Minuteman Missile National Historic Site hosted 36,777 recreation visits in 2009. Adjustments for visitor group size and re-entries resulted in 12,085 visitor group trips to the park in 2009. Based on a 2009 Visitor Services Project survey conducted June 15-23, 38% of these visitor group trips were day trips not including an overnight stay in the park or within 30 miles of the park. Thirty-seven percent of the visitor group trips involved an overnight stay in motels, lodges or cabins outside the park, and 18% of visitor group trips were overnight stays in campgrounds outside the park.
