Crazy how these things happen. I wandered into this place just out of curiosity. The young man behind the counter really nice young guy asked me if I want to go into the museum. I'll be honest, I was not so excited at first since it kind of looks small from where you enter the building, but I was wrong. First floor is really interesting. All about the gold mining that went on there. The second floor has some amazing artifacts and rooms which are set up the way they would have been back in the day. Pretty amazing place really. Impressive collection and well worth the stop.
Well worth it, if you apriciatte history. Great back in time machine!!!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$31+
Cute little museum. There is information and collectables detailing the history of Victor, Lowell Thomas and turn of the century mining. We spent about an hour here, but didn't read everything.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
I have been coming to colorado to my family's house since I was born and I have never experienced anything as awesome as this tour! Our tour guide was great and the mine was unbelievable. Great views and you get up close and personal with the mine and its process. The giant trucks were my favorite part! I literally felt like I was in a Transformers movie all day. Worth the money and the drive. We will be doing this every summer now!
This place is awesome! It’s sad that a previous reviewer like Twinkle left a one star review because of their ineptitude.
The museum itself is lovely but the town of Victor is very rundown and pretty much deserted.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
Neat place, happened to get there behind 2 bus loads of Middle Schoolers from St Louis, so that took away from the experience.
Great collection of old mining equipment with a ton of information. You could breeze through this in 10 minutes or spend a full 2 hours. Either way you’ll definitely enjoy it. Super nice people working there too. They also offer a bus tour of the mining district that was also quite nice.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Sad there is no telephone number to call and ask Are you open on Sunday? Sad if you are not. Thank you, tr
This was a wonderful tour! Rob, our guide/driver, was very well informed about mining operations & seemed to love what he does--educating visitors about gold mining. We covered a large physical area in our tour & even witnessed a "shot"an explosion from a safe vantage point. We saw one of the extremely large mining trucksout of service up close & personal & were able to climb up into it if we wished. This tour was a great value too. My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this tour.
