We brought our young children to the KUMR to enjoy something that you don't get a chance to experience elsewhere. They loved the train ride, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and enjoyed seeing some wildlife along the way. They were a little scared at first of the tunnel as it is very dark in spots, but this is part of the experience. The interpretive part of the train ride was lost on them, but it is very educational and gives a glimpse not only into the local area and this particular mine, but also the life the miners lived. We'll definitely return once our children are a bit older.

Sooooo fun to learn about this small town mining company that contributed so very much to the region. Kimberley is a must visit town in beautiful BC. Great history and a very hospitable town to visit. The train ride through the mine area was very enlightening. Check it out soon and support the local economy!

You know when you go on a tour and you get too much information? Yeah, this isn't one of those tours. Quite the opposite actually. I didn't feel like we learned much of anything about the mine or the men that worked in it. They have an amazing opportunity to have a great tour, but it failed to deliver.

This is a train ride and an interpretation center that takes you in a small underground area to show how mining was carried out over the nearly 100 years at the Sullivan mine in Kimberley BC. Actual miners (retired) not only show, but demonstrate some of the equipment used. Inside is much cooler than outside (which is great in the hot summer months) but if you get chilled easily, bring a jacket or sweater. After the mine, the train takes you to the powerhouse where you can see the air compressors, generators and the actual model used in the planning office. Well worth the trip, the tour takes almost 2 hours to complete so plan accordingly.

This is an amazing tour. Train ride to underground mine, back on train for tour of power plant then back on train. Very fun and very informative. So fortunate to have been on this tour!
