Had a great experience at the museum. The materials and equipment on exhibit were very good. Also took the underground portion of the tour. Being a mining engineer myself, i can say our guide Ken was knowledgeable and entertaining. The information provided painted a good picture of the life of a hard rock miner and the mining industry in the Butte area.

It was a great time. They had a lot in the town and museum to see, a lot of buildings with antiques to view. The tour guide was fantastic and loved going in the mine. I would recommend this museum and tour to anyone visiting Butte.

I forgot the name of our guide but he had a mustache and dark hair working on 3/12. Anyway, he did a wonderful job and was very informative. He made sure that the little ones got to see and hear it all and got to participate. Answered all the questions and seemed to really enjoy giving the tour. The tour itself was really well put on. Lots of interesting history and once it was over you really did feel like you left modern times for a bit. The mine part was awesome, very interesting to actually get to go down benieth the surface seeing and feeling what its like. Some of the other features wer still closed being the off season but we will return in the summer to check other other parts. Well worth it.

Our family went on a whim to check out this experience when visiting Butte, MT and we are glad we did. Though we were somewhat "out of season", the experience was great and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and quite funny to boot. I have been to several of these "experiences" around the US and this was most authentic when it came to feeling what miners would have experienced back when the mine was active.

Our guide was friendly and informative, really cool to hear about the miners life and mining in Butte, MT at the time of the most productive copper and silver mining of that era. The museum held many photos and artifacts. The underground tour was the best, we went down 100 ft and could only imagine what it would have been like to go down 2,731 feet. This is a must see and do with family and friends.

Fantastic tour! Knowledgeable guide, cool experience, and plenty of opportunity to take photos. Love the little recreated town on sight too. Would definitely go again and recommend to solo travelers, couples, families, etc.

We enjoyed a great tour of this museum. The guide who took us deep into the old copper mine was excellent. The exhibit also includes a recreated 1890 mining town. Other parts of the museum include many gems and other rocks from around the world. Also a good collection of old dolls.

We prebooked a tour and entrance to the museum was included, it's a great piece of Butte mining history and fun to do. Our tour guide was a hoot and did a great job explaining how the mines worked back in the day. You can't go as deep as some other mining museums, but if you are in the area and are interested in mining, do it.

Had visited the visited the museum back in the early 2000s with the entire family and loved it them. Revisited it on 6/15/24, did the underground tour for the 1st time, and loved it. We learned many new things from our excellent guide Ken. I highly recommend a visit to the World Museum of Mining AND the underground tour to anyone visiting Butte "The Richest Hill on Earth" MT. It's well worth your time.

If you are in Butte, don't miss this. It's the history of the town and so interesting and well presented. The Orphan Girl mine tour is great but if you don't want to do that, it's worth seeing the museum and the replica town. Well worth the money.
