Planned this tour for my husband during our Colorado vacation after reading positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Much to my surprise, I also enjoyed this! It was one of the highlights of our trip - very informative and much better than I expected, even after reading the reviews. I couldn't believe they actually demonstrated the tools - I would definitely recommend... more

OK, it was a little cramped on the elevator down the 1,000 mine shaft, but once underground, the history was fascinating. Completely safe, and a tour of a real mine...this is not a DIsney style attraction, it is a real gold mine and they demonstrate how the different equipment works. Kids loved it, wife and I did too. Even the... more

Great working mine and a rare insight into going 1000 feet underground and seeing different mining techniques. The $15 fee is well worth it. The Owners were friendly and the miners that lead the tours are knowledgeable and friendly too! Do tip the miners since they do this as a side to their mining job. more

It was way better than I thought it was going to be., but it is very close quarters going up and going down on the elevator so if you don't want to touch anyone this may not be the tour for you. they stuff you in there-I would recommend not volunteering to be loaded first-hang back you might get lucky... more

This is THE mine tour to take when visiting Colorado. The AAA guide does not rate this a "gem" but should. You will descend into the mine via a 1,000 ft. elevator, sure to bring a little claustrophobia to anyone, but this is the real thing. We had an excellent tour guide who was a 3rd generation miner, nice fellow... more

I'd read reviews of the Mollie Kathleen mine that were glowing, but had to see for myself. The tour was wonderful! Very informative - a great guide. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn how the gold mines began and progressed over the years. more

I enjoyed the tour. My wife would not go. Chris the minerwas our tour guide. more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here despite the relative lack of "develpment" of the above ground area and the awful toilet! The mine was fascinating and our guide keen, knowledgeable and polite. The kids loved the ride on the "Manager's bicycle" - something they would never get to experience in the overregulated UK! A definite must for anyone staying in... more

Our family spent Fourth of July week in Colorado. One of our most enjoyable and surprising visits was to the Molly Kathleen Gold Mine in Cripple Creek. A tour l,000 feet underground started with a small mine elevator taking us (adorned in jackets and hard hats) to the bottom. Our knowledgeable and friendly miner guide took us through the underground... more
