Great place to visit. Self guided tour. Struggled to find helmets that fit children. Was enjoyable for all. Need comfortable clothing and shoes. Wet inside and 186 steps. Would recommend any weather activity. Outdoor play area was good. Cafe only does pasties, sausage rolls, crisps and cakes. Suitable if you want a light snack

Visited for our dungeons and dragons-fan teenager. Really enjoyed our late morning in April visit. Very visually appealing, lots to photograph. Large car park. Felt it would have been claustrophobic and noisy at a busier time. Be aware there are nearly 200 metal, slippery steps inside, so need to be fit enough for this.

Fantastic day out, it's hard to please a 7, 11 and 14 year old all in one go, but we all really enjoyed this. Even the dog managed to make it up all the steps! Good fun and educational and the views at the end are wonderful. We thought it was very well priced for a family of 5 and the gift shop wasn't expensive either which was nice for the kids to spend their holiday money.

Great afternoon activity for the family. Quite pricey at 30 for the 4 of us, but we enjoyed what is quite an unusual activity. We were fairly tired after already doing a 5 mile trek that morning, so the 186 stairs at the end were punishing! Self guided tour, takes only about 45 mins to do the whole thing.

Good example of a tin mine. Commentary provided in select areas gives a good insight into life down a tin mine in Victorian times. Wet and a little slippy underfoot - wear appropriate footwear. You finish up the hill with quite a steep path back down to the centre

Really lovely gold mine, love the fact you can listen to an Audio in each section of the mine and read the panels. Got gold panning and metal detecting for younger ones and a trail walk along side too. Really good day out for the price the mine took about 20 minutes to walk through (that was us walking through it quickly) 180something metal steps near the end so if you cant do alot of stairs wouldnt recommend. Only 10 an adult.

A nice few hours, the mines were great and my children loved walking though them. Nice area to walk, lakes and view from mine exit is stunning. Great little gift shop and cafe and a little park for the kids too. My children did the gold/ gem panning and metal detectors and thought they were really good value, 3 each child for each one but on panning they get a mini jar to fill or fools gold and gems to keep and metal detector when they find 3 pennies they get to choose a prize.
