Q: How long should I plan to spend at Britannia Mine Museum?

Plan to spend 1.5–3 hours exploring Britannia Mine Museum. This timeframe lets you enjoy the 75-minute guided underground mine tour, experience the award-winning BOOM! multimedia show, try gold panning, and explore the interactive exhibits and mineral displays at your own pace. Allow extra time if you want to browse the gift shop or grab a snack at the café.

Admission to Britannia Mine Museum includes a guided underground mine tour aboard a historic mine train, entry to the award-winning BOOM! show in Mill No. 3, and access to interactive exhibits and the mineral gallery. You can also try your hand at gold panning and keep what you find. Daily guided tours run regularly and are included with your ticket price.

Q: What should I wear to the Britannia Mine Museum?

Dress in comfortable, casual clothing when visiting Britannia Mine Museum, and consider layers. The underground portion of the tour stays cool year-round, so a light jacket or sweater is recommended, even on warm days.

We chose a planned...

We chose a planned excursion but once we met our driver Iresh we knew it would is be a great day. We added a few extra things we’d like to do and he also added extra. We were provided with a snack box with choices of snacks and drinks. Expensive trip but well worth having our own private driver for the day. Thanks Iresh.

Awesome experience

Unique experience. They had us ride a mining train. Then took us in various mine tunnels and explained the process. Lastly the information film about the working of the mill was cherry on top. Our guide Anna was very informative and explained the entire process. Definitely recommend this adventure even for younger kids.

Mountains, Mining, and Memories

We had an awesome tour guide who really knew Vancouver and the surrounding area as a lifetime local. The selection of activities helped us understand the history of Vancouver amd experience its beauty in a way that you wouldn’t experience by keeping to the downtown area. It was a great day and exactly what we were hoping for!
