When I was a kid my dad took me to “take your kid to work day” at Lockheed. I think they hid the secret stuff somewhere where visitors wouldn’t find them.

Unlike politicians, the military + contractors take their responsibilities re. controlled information relatively seriously. The normal practice is to not have anything that is clearance-controlled sitting out anyway (it's usually stored behind extra levels of security scaled to the secrecy), and to control access to that information on a fairly granular level. Visitors to those facilities (of a variety of clearance backgrounds) are regular, so anything beyond ITAR (which you, as the child of an ITAR-accessible employee, and thus likely a US citizen/green card holder would have had access to) is going to be locked up by default.

Having grown up in North FL, I've been on a few military ships for friends and family day. This is pretty much exactly what they do. You're only allowed where they tell you to be and they have people watching to make sure you follow the rules. If anyone gets the chance to go out on a carrier, do so. Pretty neat stuff.

I interned at a Lockheed facility (which is now a nice strip mall). The classified things are behind closed doors or in your computers. The labs where you'd work on classified equipment were behind coded doors, so they just wouldn't take anybody there. They really checked too. One time I was waiting for my friend to finish something in a non-classified lab that still had the code on the door. I was literally falling asleep for a couple of hours doing nothing so I decided not to charge those hours. A few weeks later my manager invited me into his office to reprimand me for not charging the hours because they audited the doors and knew where I was for how long. I got overtime because they tracked what was going on so well.
