5One of the best museums...
One of the best museums I’ve visited in the whole world. Would definitely eventually come back for another tour when new exhibitions arrive
5Worthwhile and informative.
Great experience - easy to recommend as it's well put together with a variety of elements. The mine, the mill, the various support functions and of course a chance to pan for gold, all dovetail into an enlightening experience. Ideal for a wet or cloudy day. Allow 2 hours or more.
5Brittania Mine tour was great!
I highly recommend the Brittania Mine tour. It was really interesting and the price was reasonable. We enjoyed the whole experience.
5Wonderful experience for all the family!
This was a truly enjoyable and educational experience. We visited with our family of 5 including children aged 3-8. The tour was well worth the price of admission. Allow plenty of time to see all of the exhibits we took around 2.5-3hours and could have taken longer. Amelia our tour guide did a wonderful job guiding us through the underground tour and Boom show. All staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Would recommend for anyone visiting the area.
5Britannia Mine Museum
An excellent museum with terrific personnel and an exceptional experience!!! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone over the age of 5!! While they don't seem to have an age restriction, it probably wouldn't hurt if they made the mine tour age 5+/
5Awesome mine visit
"Beyond amazing. Better value for money than we expected. How is this such a hidden gem we've missed for so many years?"Passed by many years ago and finally went. So glad I did

About Squamish
Squamish sits at the head of Howe Sound in British Columbia, beneath the granite wall of the Stawamus Chief, a base for climbing and hiking.
At the head of Howe Sound, a long fjord north of Vancouver, Squamish lies between the water and steep, forested mountains. The Stawamus Chief, a granite monolith that rises hundreds of metres above the town, draws climbers to its walls and hikers to its three summits, while Shannon Falls drops more than three hundred metres in a long white ribbon beside the highway.
