  We visited the mine a few years ago (not March 2013). My kids loved every minute of it. Riding the coal train. Climbing on the equipment. Exploring the antiques in the main visitor's area. Would recommend for everyone, young and old alike.

  We took our Journey Kids Program at The Kittanning Salvation Army here. Very cool trip. Loved the ride down.

  The tour is a 90 minute experience, mostly underground in the mine. It's led by experienced coal miners, who are full of information and passion for the history of this mine. Out of the ordinary and so much fun. Be sure to bring a jacket. I wore a heavy hoodie and I was COLD!

  My friend and her 2 daughters, 13, were in from sunny California, and I called this, PATTY'S SURPRISE! They were surprised alright! LOL You are given a short class room instruction on the types of coal, and history of coal mining in our area. Interesting. Then it's off to the mine car and into the tunnel which is 1/2 mile into the mountain, it is inspected every day by, JOHN, who was a miner and really knowledgable. He provided current information about our government and how they was to decrease coal mining which will result in rolling black outs in the very near future. I highly recommend this for adults and children. It's an eye/mind opening experience.

  Took our 4 kids today to see how it is when daddy goes to work (late version of course) but our experience was great. Nice men and educational. I would recommend going to anyone!!

  We visited the Tour Ed Mine in June 2012. We enjoyed every bit of this attraction. The tour starts in the replica company store with a discussion of miners' lives back in the 19th century. From there, after an initial discussion about the mine, we went into the mine via an authentic mine car. The in-mine part of the tour involves going to different sections of the mine, which contain working antique mine equipment from different eras. The tour guide was a certified mine safety engineer with several years experience. We enjoyed the entire tour. The best part of the tour was the people who run the tour. They were both excellent. We will come back again if we are ever in the area again.

  This is a very cool place to visit. I have been there three times and it is great. The tour-ed mine is an old, out of commission real coal mine. There is a tour and an educational session conducted by real old coal miners who are bright, enthusiastic and have great stories. You start in an old store that is a little museum and then they give you a short lecture.Then the cool part starts.You actually take a real coal train into this old mine. And go for a tour there. It is a bit scary but absolutely fascinating.I recommend you call ahead for reservations in case they have a big group coming through

  This is a terrific place to take and group of kids - scouts, school or church groups. Everyone - adults included - learned so much about mining and its importance to the Pittsburgh region. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to do something local but out of the ordinary.

  Must be the fourth or fifth time visiting this dynamic spot! Cannot think of a better way to present how difficult and dangerous it is for so many in the past and right now to make a living and to provide us with something we take for granted. Electricity!
