This was an excellent excursion as i really enjoyed the BC Heritage of the mine and the people who lived and worked there.
Ava was awesome she was so engaged in her job she made the whole experience very interesting and informative with a light hearted touch
Excellent tour guide, Eli, with a highly informative explanation of the mining experience and effects on the environment.
Fantastic experience.got to warn you, lots of stairs, no ramp for the handicap
Interesting how the miners worked. Seeing the mine in real life made it real. Story teller did a great job.
Very fun experience and a nice way to spend a couple of hours going between Whistler and Vancouver. Very informative guide who really knew the history of the mine. Super interesting info! Good for kids (lots of noise!) but for adults too! I was worried that I would be claustrophobic, but no issues at all. You could always see the exit point.
Unique experience. They had us ride a mining train. Then took us in various mine tunnels and explained the process. Lastly the information film about the working of the mill was cherry on top. Our guide Anna was very informative and explained the entire process. Definitely recommend this adventure even for younger kids.
My friends and I had a wonderful time! The museum is interactive and informative. The interpreters, like Chris, are very engaging!
We actually went here by accident... we were taking a drive and our little one got car sick so we pulled over to get air and walk around. We happened to pull into the Museum's parking lot and thought it looked cool... and I'm so glad we did! We all enjoyed it... husband, me, teenager, 4 year old, 2 year old. Our tour guide Spencer was funny and very knowledgable. It was one of the highlights of our trip over Christmas from California
It was a good step back in time experience with our tour guide Chris he is very accomodating. He explained every details very well
