    I came here on a Monday in August with my son after it was suggested by a friend who lives in…read moreToronto. We really enjoyed it! There is a ton to do here. An outdoor playground (mostly for really little kids), and indoor playground (that even my 11-year-old got a kick out of) plus lots of hands on exhibits like panning for gold and grinding/polishing rocks using special equipment. The highlight was the underground mine tour. We did the heritage tour which focuses on the history of mining. A tour guide leads you through different eras of Canadian mining history starting in the 1800's, into the 1950's and finally into the 2000's. Our tour guide was Claire and she was great. We spent a few hours here but we could have easily spent more time if we didn't have to get on the road. Definitely a great and educational place to spend with little kids!

    We enjoyed it here, visiting my cousin in Sudbury...the big nickel is a sight to see. We did the…read moreunderground mine tour, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked how they split up the tour into different time periods and showed you the conditions and equipment that were used. The tour guide was pretty good and very interactive with the kids. It was cute before you got onto the tour you had to "check in" and take a picture of yourself as a miner. The elevator ride down was neat as was the video they played before you started the tour. They have a pretty small but good gift shop, we got some geodes that were neat. I liked their rock wall and all of the history and interesting tidbits that were all around this place. I think it is a good addition to this town and good for getting some history and background in while you are there or even if you live there.

    Great place to play bingo, prizes are good. The few slot machines in the bingo pass the time and…read morepayout sometimes. Always a fun experience. ALLL staff are awesome and friedly. I do volunteer work at the bingo every couple of months

    I used to be a regular guest at Delta Bingo and have not lived in Sudbury for close to a decade. I…read moream 'home' visiting so my sister brought me out to Bingo and I was disappointed by my experience. Let me start by saying that the staff is still friendly and I have no problem with the staff. Smiles, great staff and volunteers. HOWEVER, the place is now very dark (I get that it's so the new slots show better) . Bingo is a paper game. But the stupid Gecko electronic bingo machines win the lion's share of games. Consistently. Jackpot games should NOT have a number cap...that's why they are the jackpot. I get with the super jackpot, accumulator, etc, but the regular jackpot...come on!!!! The games themselves have less in the actual book and there are almost an equal number of extra add on games which is frustrating. Additional, the prize payout on regular games is literally half what it used to be. Not being able to bring my own drinks in was very inconvenient as I am on a special diet. We used to be able to bring in food and drink with no issues. The Super Jackpot is now the same payout as the regular jackpot, so really it isn't very super. And it doesn't make sense and is frustrating to a former regular. The caller wasn't previewing the numbers in the monitor and indeed didn't even show us one number so we don't actually know that the number she said was actually the number from the hopper. Also, they have taken the recycling bins from the tables and although the volunteers were really great at this session, I can only imagine what it must be like on other days. And although I underStand that this has become Delta gaming centre, I found that most of the place was dedicated to electronic gaming (slots and geckos) and not traditional paper (which should be slotted equal space in my opinion). But like I said, the staff are really nice.
