Britannia Mine Museum

This is by far, the most enjoyable and informative museum I’ve ever visited! Once, the largest copper mine in early 1900s in BC, this historical spot is situated in an amazing landscape near the Britannia Beach within the territory of Squamish, BC. In its seventy-year life, the Britannia Mine had a fascinating history, which is perfectly presented. This amazingly interactive museum has lots of interesting activities and tours, for the whole family members! I enjoyed the ride inside the mine with our amazing guide! You should not miss that and the BOOM show!
