This was a great tour and the whole family enjoyed it. Can be a bit loud for the little guys but the staff were very accommodating. The power house is also really neat. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. The mining information was pretty technical and a lot of it went over our heads but it was interesting none the less. Definitely enjoyed.

This is a train ride and an interpretation center that takes you in a small underground area to show how mining was carried out over the nearly 100 years at the Sullivan mine in Kimberley BC. Actual miners (retired) not only show, but demonstrate some of the equipment used. Inside is much cooler than outside (which is great in the hot summer months) but if you get chilled easily, bring a jacket or sweater. After the mine, the train takes you to the powerhouse where you can see the air compressors, generators and the actual model used in the planning office. Well worth the trip, the tour takes almost 2 hours to complete so plan accordingly.

Had a great time, worth the money and very informative and impressive. They have all the tools used and in working condition, even started them up and used them! A little long for the young kids but they had toys and things to keep them occupied while you can listen to the presentation. Great tour guides

Called their front desk asking for details surrounding the train ride. The lady has been very clear to be there 15 to 20 minutes before departure. That worked perfectly for us we had a quick lunch and came earlier, 30 minutes before departure. Train already full screwed up our afternoon. Could not reserved. There was no school bus nor any abnormal traffic to excuse them. Her excuse was there is very limited seating on the train. Are you serious i dont know any kids train with unlimited seating!!!!

What a fabulous experience! The telling of the Sullivan Mine's history and experiences by a man with over 35 years of personal experience made it a history lesson worth paying attention to. Travel by rail made the journey easy and even more interesting. Even if this stop might be off your route, take the detour. The over 90 minute experience was priceless.
