There are so many great things to say about this museum. If you find science interesting then get yourself here and be prepared to be fascinated. Hands on exhibits that show mechanical advantage with simple machines, all the ways that water power is used in industry, steam power, electricity, and beyond! Great staff and a diverse gift shop to boot!

I had no idea a museum like this even existed. Visting from Halifax and discovered this on our journey. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see the inside of the museum due to COVID-19 closures, but I was able to see through the windows and the facility looks impressive. On the outside is a plaque dedicated to the General Mining Association, as mining is a big historical component of the area. We will be back.
Excellent Gift Shop, awesome variety, and beautiful stained glass selection.
Shows what mining was like in Pictou County. Museum needs to be revitalized.
Absolutely wonderful group of people that operate this facility. Carolyn was a staff member that touched base with me a few times as I walked around. She was very smart and very friendly to talk with. I added some photos with this review of the things I liked the best from the museum but there was plenty more to see there that I don't post!
Lots of interesting vehicles and machines to see here! The trains are enough to keep the young ones entertained along with some fun activities and colourful attractions. The facility itself is up to date and has a lot of interesting exhibits that focus on Nova Scotia history. It should keep you busy for 1.5 to 2 hours.
I really enjoyed the museum. I took 2hr to complete due to closing time. Rushing through I didn't get as much time at the exhibits I could have spent another 1-2hr. Staff was very friendly. Due to Covid they don't have all the exhibits open however they did their best by a follow the arrow instruction.
This surprisingly excellent museum has something for all ages. The many interactive exhibits and excellent docent (Paul) made the experience especially informative. Of special note is Sampson the 1880 locomotive and vast tool and machine collections. The museum is built on the site of an old coal mine which adds some emotion to the visit
