We went here on a school field trip. It was VERY cold, so dress in layers. They dress you up in a slicker complete with hard hat and headlight, then sit astride a mining train to go down down down. The kids were all excited to get on the train, but once down there, the non-native English speaker was really... More

We enjoyed the train ride and the history. Great place to visit to see how mining was done in the old days. More

You really feel like you are a miner heading into the mine. They dress you up with a rain coat, light and hard hat. Put you on a train and head into the mine. This was a real working mine and it really takes you back in time to see what it was and is like for miners. Our guide... More

This is a great adventure to go down and see the different areas of the mine. Please make sure that you are wearing appropriate clothing! Even during the summer it is cold and you don't want to be in sandals because you are walking around down there among the loose rocks More

We went on this tour with our children (9 & 11) and my in-laws (in their 70s), and we all enjoyed it. Dressing warm is important, and they further bundle you in a raincoat, a miner's hat and give you a flashlight before you pack onto a small train and ride into the mine. Our tour guide (like most of... More

The Copper Queen Mine Tour is an interesting view of mining as it was. You get to ride a mine car train into the mine and the tour guide explains the mining process. It isn't worth a repeat tour, but the tour and the gift shop are pretty interesting. More

He was a miner as well in the past so his first hand experiences and stories added to the tour. It's very cold in the mine 47 degrees so bring an extra sweater! They have a cute and reasonable...

Well worth the time. Our guide (Julian) had worked in this mine, as had his father and grandfather, and was full of information about it. He was personable and interesting. We were glad we got there for the 8:30 tour as there were only 3 of us. The next tour was sold out. We had trouble spotting the place, even... More

This tour might seem hokey to some, but it's actually rather interesting. You get dressed up in gear and go horizontally into a mine tunnel on a tram. They make 2 stops to show you various facets of mining. The tourguide was a former miner, although not at that mine, and he used more modern techniques than the ones he... More
