    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!

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.
