Britannia Mine Museum

What was once the largest copper mine in the British Empire is now a multi-award winning attraction. Britannia Mine Museum opens up a little-seen world that fascinates all ages. Just like miners did, visitors climb aboard a mine train and rumble into an authentic tunnel. Entertaining guides describe the workings of drills and tools from the past century. Every visit includes gold panning with the chance to take home frequent findings.

New for 2019, the Museum is proud to present BOOM! a live-action experience that brings the historic Mill thundering back to life. BOOM! is unlike any other attraction in North America, immersing visitors in the sights, sounds, and story of the 20-storey National Historic Site.

The Britannia Mine Museum is just 10 minutes south of Squamish along the Sea-to-Sky highway.
