This multi-award winning Museum offers guided tours and engaging exhibits that have earned a 4 1/2 star Trip Advisor rating. See firsthand why we were voted "Best Attraction" for the Sea to Sky and Whistler area.

Just like miners did, visitors climb aboard a mine train and rumble into an authentic tunnel. Entertaining guides describe the workings of drills and tools from the past century. Every visit includes gold panning with the chance to take home real gold! Play areas for children keep young ones entertained.
