Good touristy event pertaining to the heritage of mining so important to the area. When we went they offered repelling for the more adventurous; the walking tour was easy for an average person. More

We stopped on a Sunday drive from Minnesota to the U.P. The U.P. has VERY little to do West of Marquette. This is a true highlight. We took the 80 minute tour which ended up being more like 2 hours from arrival to departure. There was one guide for just our family of four. She answered every question we had... More

My wife and I visited the Adventure Mining Company in July of 2005 for the first time while on a quick, long weekend in the U.P. We took the Miner's Tour and had an absolute blast! With all the other adventure sports that we participate(d) in we still talk about this 2 hour time slot in our history. And now... More

I had the pleasure of leading a group of 32 Scouts and Scouters from Troop 755 in Northville in August of 2010 on a backpacking trip through the Porcupines. We had tremendous weather and experiences all week but the highlight for every Scout was the mine tour complete with repelling, climbing and a ride in the Pinzgauer all terrain vechiles.... More

Simply a fascinating tour, great guides with interesting stories of days long gone and the hard working Greenland miners. Several different tours for all age levels and even a shaft rappelling tour. Great gift shop. So glad I finally made it there!!! Tom Rosemurgy, Houghton, MI More

There's not a great number of kid friendly things to do in this end of the UP. But the Adventure Mine is a fabulous experience for both kids and adults. We took the Miner's tour which included nearly 3 hours exploring the tunnels on foot wearing miner's helmets and lights (not just for show, ceilings are low and its mighty... More
