world museum of mining印象

This is a pretty cool place to spend a few hours. It does need some updates to make the experience more informative, more in line with what one would expect from a World Museum. For instance, though we asked several times we were told by the front desk there is no guide for the museum so you are left drawing your own conclusions as to where to go, what things are and what history they have. Also, most of the exhibits have no signage at all to explain anything about what you are looking at or at least to give a story. I will come back someday as I missed the underground tour.

This is a great historical museum about mining. It is a replica of an old mining town complete with a guided tour of an old mine, trains, buildings, and mining exhibits. It is well worth the time in visiting and exploring. We spent a couple hours here looking at mineral rocks, dolls, buildings and exhibits. It is well worth the admission of about $8.

I liked walking through the restored minig town feeling I'd been thrust back in time. I do wish the mining part would have been more instructive. I wanted to learn more about the process.

I realize it was after Labor Day, but it was warm, sunny, and quiet - almost too quiet.What do you fear meeting when you go into a deserted old town? Me, uh, um, nothing (I hope).Actually this is a very good restoration of the town many years ago along with the mine, stores, rusted train, and even the telephone office. Just don't expect to see many others. I did enjoy it and found much more than I expected. It's not really deserted, just unused, but relatively clean. You're not allowed to enter most of the buildings, but peaking in the window, entering those you can, listening to some of the audio guides, and reading displays does make it more interesting.Don't forget to look at the miniature model houses before you go into town. They're amazing in their own right!

This museum is behind the University so is a little hard to find. The replica of an old mining town is very interesting. The main building has a doll collection that is very complete--plan to spend a good 30 minutes in this exhibit. Also, there are exhibits of gems and minerals. Worthwhile to visit.

museum was reasonably priced. You can take the self tour of the old mining town or the guided tour of the town with a historian and excursion into the mines. Your choice.

This is a terrific look into how it felt to live in a mining town and work in a mine. If you enjoy the detail of a traditional museum, take the 1.5 to 2 hour guided tour with the very knowledgeable and interesting guide. If you prefer power-museum experiences, just browse. This is a great place for kids. They can dart around peering into the many buildings on the spacious grounds.If you expect a polished museum with loads of written exhibits, you'll be disappointed. However, if you are open to experiencing a visual step back in time, you'll enjoy it as much as we did. A bonus is the wonderful rock and mineral display and a quirky but fascinating doll exhibit.

If you have the slightest interest in what life and work were like in the height of the mining industry in Montana, do not miss this place. Our party was surprised by the extent of the exhibits. But the best part of our visit was the one and a half hour guided tour, including a trip into an abandoned mine shaft. Our guide was well informed and his explanations were clear and easy to understand. Two warnings: leave your good shoes back in the motel room, and plan on spending at least two and a half hours. Highly recommended.

We visited the museum as my 10 year old son loves Minecraft, and the idea of touring a mine was very exciting. Though the tickets were a little higher priced than I expected, the tour itself was very good. It was about 1 hour and 45 minutes, starting with a talk about the history of mining in the area, and then took us into the mine itself. The tour guide was a good speaker, and was entertaining and easy to listen to as well as being full of information. We all enjoyed the tour very much. It didn't hurt that you had to wear lighted hard hats--:). Before the tour we were able to walk around and look through the model mining town. There was a lot of windows to look in and see how old businesses in a mining town looked around the turn of the century. My son was more interested in the variety of old machinery and gears laying around. There was also an extensive mineral collection and doll & dollhouse collection to view. Overall, a nice day trip from Bozeman.

The museum is mainly an outdoors one. Here you can visit a reconstructed mining town, which is wonderful, since one has the feeling of being teletransported over a century in time. There is also an underground mine visit, as well as several indoor mineral and mine-work expositions. This is a must-do to anybody visiting Butte!
