    - $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!

    My recommendation is to skip this attraction. Easy enough to find and free parking. There is a…read more$7 per person entrance fee. It took longer to walk to the Pit through the tunnel than it did to view the Pit. It's a quarry, so if you have seen a quarry you don't need to pay the entrance fee to see this one. Or find a quarry and go look into the Pit of water for free. There are some placards once you get thru the tunnel to the quarry about the history but you can read that on line.

    We stopped in to Butte on our cross country drive and visited the mining museum after lunch in…read moretown. They offer military and other discounts on their entrance fee The gift shop area includes information on local, current mining operations as well as merch. This is an outdoor museum so dress for the weather. If you want to take the under ground tour be sure you are wearing closed toed shoes. (Crocs not included, I don't know why) They also have above ground tours. Part of the property is set up like a western town. Something that would grow up around a mine. Post office, apothecary, carpenter, blacksmith, etc, etc. All these buildings are set up with window displays but most are not open to the public. You just peer thru the windows. There is a memorial garden to miners. A mine yard with pieces of heavy equipment. The motorized lift, miners locker room, light room, information and equipment used in dry and wet boring, 3D representations of mines and more with information posted on the displays. You can walk up into the mine head if you are so inclined to see how the ore chutes operated. We spent about two hours here without realizing it. Very interesting museum. Staff are very personable, answered questions and suggested reading material for more on the subject. Very good, family friendly stop.

    Great place to see the history of mining and also you got to go down into the mine.Also Ken is a…read morereally nice person to do the tour with.
