Britannia Mine Museum - OPEN

Britannia Mine Museum opens up a little-seen world that fascinates all ages, turning out awe-inspiring sights and memorable family experiences. Take a step back in time at this award-winning attraction and National Historic Site.

Check out our newest attraction BOOM!, an immersive, live-action special effects experience inside the historic Mill No. 3 building that tells the heart-warming story, sights, and sounds behind the almost-100-year-old architectural marvel.

Rumble aboard our underground train as it rolls into an historic mining tunnel. Push up your sleeves at our Gold Panning Pavilion and keep what you find! Engage with interactive exhibits and learn about minerals, history and what life was like back in the day from informative but informal tour guides.
