Britannia Mine Museum General Admission - The Underground Mine Train: The Star Ride Meets Real History

1.Britannia Mine Museum General Admission

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 233 reviews · 1 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $32Our pick

Timed entry to Britannia Mine Museum in Squamish with a guided mine train, gold panning, and the BOOM! live show.

“An entertaining guide took us thru the mine and talked about the history, equipment and township. The museum has lots of historic memorabilia and information. It took several hours to see all of the buildings and do the tour so give yourself plenty of time. We spent 2 hours and could have spent 3 but had to go. A worthwhile journey into understanding the efforts and the people of the time.”
