This was such a fun...

Published on Jan, 2025

This was such a fun excursion on our way up to Whistler. Learning the history of the mine from inside the tunnels was fascinating, and the multimedia show at the end was very impressive.

Great Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Had a great time and learned a lot. Definitely recommend and hoping in the future they allow more viewing on the different levels where the Boom Show is. Operator was great, only downfall is his accent was very strong so he was a little hard to understand at times. Other than that he was very pleasant.

Don’t miss this

Published on Jan, 2025

Oh man this was better than I remember it 25 years ago. Highly recommended! My 14-year old daughter and 22-year old son loved it. The mill presentation really put things in perspective.

Great tour full of...

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour full of amazing information and awesome demonstration. All ages will enjoy this tour. I would recommend giving yourself at least two hours to enjoy everything.

An interesting and non-preachy educational experience

Published on Dec, 2024

If you like educational experiences, this one was a good one. Our tour guide, Demi, made it interesting and answered all questions. Now I can stop wondering what that big building (the concentrator) is every time I drove past it on my way to Whistler. I thought the BOOM! presentation was interesting, but what I found most interesting was the Administration Building after the underground tour. Reading the quotes from people who lived in Britannia Beach and The Townsite/Mt. Sheer, you can see that it was a very close community that was isolated from the rest of the world; a boat was the only way in or out. They loved their safe, open-door community and they did everything together. They appreciated the copper mine for all it brought to their lives...employment, income, purpose, a way of life, a safe place to raise a family with really good schools. They also appreciated the isolation that shielded them from Vancouver's problems. They loved the light and the loud noise from the concentrator. It all gave them hope.
