The tour guides were lovely and or kids loved the fossils and the displays. They even let our kids keep a fossil at the end of the tour. Just fantastic!

Lena Farrell

Would be better if it was still open

Very interesting museum - after touring the museum, and listening to some stories of the coal miners, we were able to go down into an old coal mine, and see what it was really like. Interesting for all ages.

Nice spot

Staff are really knowledgeable about the fossils, and can answer questions. The tour can be a bit dry for children, but about half way through they can see replica dinosaurs, enjoy colouring, and playing in a sand pit. Some fossils are enclosed in glass and others are available for touching. Overall it is pretty neat. Cash only though, so come prepared. There's a little gift shop as well, I found the prices reasonable.

This is a fascinating Museum. I highly recommend learning about the coal mines of Cape Breton.

Our 2020 NS tourist guide list this place and it appears it has been closed for a number of years

Closed due to covid restrictions

It's a cute, but small museum. They have a nice setup with some local history. It's an opportunity to learn in a casual environment and a good place to bring kids to burn some time.

Matthew Donahoe

It was closed down

Staff really made the visit. Three small buildings with some interesting artifacts, staff was very knowledgeable about everything inside. Not sure if kids would stay entertained, but my wife and I had a great time learning about the area's past.

Very educational

Donnie Faulkner

Nice

Pierre-Luc Pineault

Really knowledgeable staff, nice exhibits. Separated into three sections, one about plant fossils, one about the coal mines/police station and one about local sports. It's mostly a guided tour, we got the help of a very friendly guide. We could also ask questions directly to the Dr. who brought back himself most of the fossils, seemed very passionate about his stuff. Very interesting stuff all around, pricing is pretty fair.

(Translated) I would have liked to see more but what I saw was very good (Original) J'aurais aimé en voir plus mais ce que j'ai vu était très bien

Will Smith

Some good information on the history and a surprise on fossils. Recommend seeing this...

Trish French

This is such a great place to be! It's pretty amazing what the miner's did

Cyril Haley

Interesting place

just funnin

Not well marked. Sign on door says tours start at fossil center, but no indication where that is. They don't care, I don't care. Not going to work any harder than a long drive to spend my money where it doesn't seem appreciated.
