Nice diversion to visit. The steam train wasn't operational, but we took a battery operated car on tracks into the mine. I am glad I took a hooded jacket and jeans bc it was chilly and damp. Wear good shoes bc it's cold damp ground. No flip flops;) The tour guide was informative. Brings appreciation for the fact coal miners have worked in extremely hard conditions. It was nice to see daylight after only a 35 min tour!

This was a great experience! Get the combo tickets for the train and coal mine, both are guided tours and there is a lot to see. Definitely need a sweatshirt for the mine. Great activity!

Truly enjoyable. We road the steam train as well as toured the mine. There were beautiful views, interesting sites, and history to learn. Be sure to bring a light jacket for the mine, it is coooold! (Though that felt good with the heat outside!)
