I was really struggling with how many stars to give a place which is basically a viewing point for…read morea pool of toxic water. I decided to just rate my experience here and I must say it was a good one. In all honesty, I've never heard of the place until today. I have lived in Montana for 14 years now but for some reason or another, this place never crossed my radar. While taking a road trip to explore Butte today, my husband insisted we stop here. After a quick Google search on my phone, I saw we were only about a mile away but had less than 20 minutes before it closed (4pm on a Sunday). The younger man at the desk inside was very helpful and told us we didn't need to rush and could take our time. It was $10 for my husband, myself, and our two kids to enter. After paying, you walk through a short tunnel to the viewing area. Unfortunately the wind was insane today so we did end up rushing, but it was still a very unique experience and I am glad we decided to go. The color of the water is deceiving. You wouldn't guess it is full of toxic chemicals. The Berkeley Pit used to be an open pit copper mine. It has a depth of over 1,600 feet and is filled with over 900 feet of water. It is said to have the acidity of Coca Cola or lemon juice. The pit is filled with a combination of various chemicals, which help give it that greenish-blue color. It was interesting to stand there and imagine how it looked years ago. My kids really enjoyed reading about the history of the pit. We do plan on making another trip back there when the weather is better so we can fully fake advantage of that piece of Butte's history. I would definitely recommend!

- $7 for a simple distant look at a lifeless corrosive lake?? I think $3 from Tom Scott's era would…read morestill be fitting today. . Decent ambience. - The service wasn't very helpful. We can't see the propane cannon, and they didn't provide a way for us to know when we hear it: they didn't know how often it goes off, have an audio recording to play for us, etc. But thankfully, Tom Scott's got us covered. His YT video at timestamp 1:08 demonstrates an audio example of their use of the propane cannon. Just sounds like a simple thud. Nothing extravagant. But that's the sound you can look for when you're there. Goes off once every few mins. . Overall they maintain restriction against bird presence very well. - So well that you won't be getting a chance witness their use of rifles to scare any unknowing birds away during your visit haha . Tip: I think just acknowledging the Pit's existence is sufficient. Not much to do at this attraction. Thus, not quite worth the hassle of a visit. + Restrooms and water are well maintained. Thanks again, Tom Scott!

The Butte Copper Company has some really amazing copper items in their store. The wine and…read morechampagne glasses are unique and just beautiful!

VERY MISS LEADING ADVERTISING. Its called Butte Copper, and their website really pushes the whole…read morecopper angle so we figured this should be pretty interesting lets check it out. Besides some copper mugs and barware, a few pieces of jewelry and some souvenirs the copper made up a very small percentage of what they sell. This is more like a Home Goods/Hobby Lobby home decor kinda place. Nice dish towels, a few pieces of furniture, plates, paintings, etc that you would buy to decorate your house, but most of it has no copper in it or anything to do with it. Just feel very annoyed they push the copper angle like they have a ton of stuff and then when you get there its hardly anything.

Considering that I drove across town looking for souvenirs at CVS, Kmart, random gas stations and…read morecame up empty handed, this place saved the day! They had plenty of t-shirts, mugs, postcards, chocolates, etc with Montana plastered on everything. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's located in the town mall. There was plenty of parking and hardly any people around. It was pretty deserted. The young girl working there was very helpful and nice. I would have been disappointed if I didn't grab a shirt that says Montana on it from Montana.

For the past 20 years I have brought every visitor to this store to purchase Montana souvenirs. My…read moredaughter and Granddaughter and a friend went in to look for a T-shirt. The clerk locked the door because she said they were closing. It was my plan to pay for the shirts but the clerk would not let me in. Finally my daughter unlocked the door, put back the adult shirts she was going to buy. The clerk let me pay for the shirts for the young girls. Once out, my daughter told me the clerk told her I could not come in, that they were closed. I only got in because my daughter unlocked the door. I don't believe it is appropriate to lock young customers in your store. In fact it may be against the law. Whatever the law or policy of this store, I'll not shop there again. Rudeness beyond my comprehension. This all took place in a matter of minutes. The girls were not in the store other than to pick out their shirt. Seems business is kinda slow and you missed at least $50.00 in sales.

From what I could tell, there's a Joann's, a gift store, a Hallmark, 2 (!!) Jewelry stores, a fast food place, and I think a cinema. That's the whole mall. And it's not like people were even in these places. It's a ghost town - see my attached picture. I know malls in general are struggling / disappearing, but even then this is still far and away the most depressing mall I have ever been to.
