  We went to the mine view after taking the actual mine tour, and despite not being close up, much preferred this. We were able to take pictures, and the ladies staffing the shop on site were superb! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful. Plus I found some unique souveniers to satisfy my Scandanavian soul. A great place to stop, highly recommend it.

  Getting to the mine view does not take that much time and is something that is a one time must see when you are in Hibbing. The scale is amazing.

  This visitor's center at the edge of the Hull Rust Mahoning Mine provided an excellent view of the mine. It was unfortunate we couldn't' see much activity. The visitors center is dated, but that is not surprising since it seems to be run by older volunteers. I got the impression they need new, younger volunteers to spruce the place up. Regardless, it was a nice visit and I would recommend stopping here.

  I've taken my g'children here twice and they loved it! Lots of fun, a huge view of the mine, and a great walkway with various pieces of mining equipment and tools. Very educational! They were able to see huge machines actually working, with a gift shop they could browse through! Hope to go back one day!

  This was recommended to us by a volunteer at Mineview in the sky and I'm so glad we made the effort.Although it was a wet and misty afternoon we couldn't fail to be impressed with the sheer scale of the Hull Rust mines. We counted at least eight dump trucks working and numerous dozers and mining machines.The volunteers at the visitor centre were helpful, offering much more background into both the mining operations and the surrounding areas.I can't imagine anyone not being impressed with this. We certainly plan to return again, hopefully on a clear day.

  As a US history teacher, I had wanted to see the mine. There was little in the museum and the attendants not very helpful. I had called fearing that it might not be open on the cold rainy day we were there. I was assured it was open, only to get there and see the door sign saying closed. I telephoned again and found that the sign on the outer door was wrong. The weather prevented our enjoying the site so much as I had hoped. I still treasure the experience as enlightening for me and of potential use in my classroom.There were items outside to explore but the weather precluded our doing that.

  You can stand in awe here. Enjoy the vast surroundings of the active mines around you. Beautiful scenery and it's all free.

  Yet another part of Minnesota that I didn't know anything about, even though I am nearly a lifelong citizen of the state! Neat to see the mine still operating and to get to see up close the machines they use, huge isn't even big enough to describe the trucks!

  Not much in the way of signs to tell you what is going on, but it is a great view of the pit. There was a guy inside the gift shop who was able to answer my questions, so I felt like I learned something.

  Most amazing view of an outstanding mine in the history of Minnesota and Hibbing. The mine is actually where the city of Hibbing stood. Hibbing IS the town that moved. Check it out.... so much history there!
