Reviews of Springhill Miners' Museum (Doctor)

Yan Teor

The tour itself should take you between 45-60mins and costs 10$ per person tx. incl. It's definitely worth going there since you'll learn a lot about Springhill's history. If you get Tony as your guide, you'll be in for a ride since he knows his stuff. Bring a lite jacket cause it can get pretty chill in the mine.

Good place to experience an in the mine tour

Amy Miller [Staff]

No explanation of options and said our child can’t go. Didn’t say if he was too young.

Anne Seigmiller

Springhill is known for mining. Experience the story and work of miners. My grandfather and Uncle both worked as miners in Springhill, it was important to know what they experienced. ????

chris Audi1

a lot on information about the miner's work, life and what happen in the history of the mine -it cost 10$ to enter and it include a guided tour. our guide was tony, excellent guide and was able to answer pretty much all our questions. the entire visit will take around 1h max maybe 1h30 if you read every newspaper on the wall. Suggestions: bring a good pair of shoes forget the sandal you will go down 300 feet in the mine. they provide helmet maybe bring a vest if you're sensitive to cold

Very interesting if you know nothing or very little about mining. You actually go down into the mine to see what it was really like as a miner.

George Boudreau

Jenny Thomas

Enjoyed the tour, our guide was fantastic !

Laurent Dupuis

The staff was very friendly, the visit was about 45 min. They show us the replicate of the workers barracks and the equipment they used. They have many original gear on site. One of the guides was very young but he knew his stuff very well and answered all of our questions. We also get to walk in the mines itself witch I loved, you get a better feeling of the working conditions in the mines. I would recommend this place anytime!

Anthony Arone

Excellent experience, friendly staff, was so cool going into the mine ... glad we stopped ... hopefully one day we will return.

Denis Bastarache

so informative. would recommend to go at least once

An excellent look back at the coal mining history of Springhill. As a native Springhiller I never pass up the opportunity to share this experience with new people that I take to Springhill

Very interesting place to visit. It's about terrible past events. The tour was very interesting. The guide had a very good knowledge of the history of the mines in the region. Definitely a place to visit.

JammyHorizon17

Hey sometimes you can get to go slightly into the mine

Kathleen Young

Informative visit! A bit tricky for tall people to decend into the mine, but everyone puts on a hard hat for that portion of the tour. Would recommend this opportunity.

Excellent tour. Super tour guide.

Stephanie Rector

The story behind it. How it's a true part of our heritage. Wonder why nobody has written a book OR movie script about it based on a true story.... I just might if I get the time. Lol

Claire Ford

We were on vacation and did not plan on going until we saw the sign so we pulled off to go check it out. It turned out to be really neat!, It’s definitely worth the visit for anyone nearby. Really nice staff and guide

Knowledgeable staff, interesting artifacts and you are able to explore part of an old coal mine to get an idea of what it was like!

Not even 1 star drive 3 hours to get there and than told kids 2 and 3 weren't old enough. Nothing was posted about age in the website! Very very disappointed!

Tour was incredible! So interesting to visit where past generations worked.

Jspifferman

It was pretty cool, learned a few things, the staff was very informative, would go back again.
