    We stopped here on our way to Whistler, very glad we did! The tour demonstrated the very loud drills they used and even the old flame headlights miners used, very cool! Worth a stop!

    It's worth taking the tour, favourite part. If you go when they aren't busy, you can get a tour with only a couple of people. Fun and educational.

    After driving past this place a ton finally stopped! Should have stop sooner! This place rocks! Take the tour and let your inner child take over. Look for Becky, she was wonderful!

    The underground train ride is great but the under five crowd may find it too scary.
