I take my vacation the last two weeks of each year to enjoy Halloween and the haunted attractions in Denver. Each attraction has it's own flavor if you will. I really enjoy the Haunted Mines because it has an old vintage feel. When you pull up, there are festive orange lights everywhere, and helpful staff to help you park. The... More 

Truly enjoyed seeing all the vintage cars, trucks, and trackers. The only problem was that I am temporarily in a wheelchair and there was no pathway of any sort for my wheelchair to traverse. We ended up leaving earlier than we wanted to because it just got too difficult trying to wheel over gravel and grass.

This is a wonderful museum of the history of mining in the area, but it is a bit quirky to find the entrance! The docents are friendly and very helpful; they have a guided tour, especially nice for children, with hands-on activities like panning for gold. When possible, they also run some of the machinery on display. The display on... More 

Can't believe they run so many pieces of historical mining and industrial equipment! Diverse range of displays, inside and out. And the kids always have a great time panning for gold and polished stones!

You have to stop here! An amazing walk thru mining history in Colorado and United States. Great educational stop for adults and children.

A private nonprofit foundation with many volunteers that has preserved a great history. It rates a 5... More

The staff was having an employee day with bbq and refreshments. When we asked the guy if they were open they... More 

I have driven past the exit on I-25 for this museum for many years but was always in a hurry to be some place else and did not have the time to stop. So last week I finally decided to make this one of my destinations for a trip to Colorado Springs. I got here in time for the 10AM... More 

Went here on a Saturday. Was told up front they were understaffed & was given $1 off admission (which isn't really worth it, in my opinion). Self-led tour of local mining history with photos, maps & artifacts. Demonstration of engines in main room was given by unprofessional-looking woman who knew her stuff but seemed rushed to deliver the info. Entrance... More
