Had a blast here on a snow day. In addition to the great exhibits on mining technology and rock samples, you actually get to see old steam powered engines and generators in action. Lots of fun for adults and kids. Plus the staff is extremely knowledgeable about mining history, geology, and mining law here in Colorado. A great resource for the history buff and potential prospector.

This place is amazing! There is so much to see, do, and learn! Consider becoming a member so you can come back often. Plan on spending at least 3+ hours. A MUST-DO for Colorado mining history buffs!

My children and I all were all fascinated with this museum. Seeing the machines run was our favorite part. The entire museum can be viewed easily within two hours. There are also quite a few hand-on activities for kids of all ages, including a gold panning area. We will visit again sometime in the future.

Great place to learn about mining history in Colorado. The museum has stationary steam enigines and a stream shovel that is still functional.
