Me and my partner had a great time at silver mountain experience, even though it's primarily aimed at kids the history and cave stories were amazing! We did all the activities and we also did the gem and gold mining which is an absolute dream for us we spent literal hours doing it! So so good

Had a great day here, family with 2 teenagers one 18 and 15, we absolutely loved it. We did black chasm and Matthew - witch chaser was fantastic and great fun! It was a highlight of our week, they loved the minecraft bits too. We even enjoyed playing in the sand and the water feature. High recommend to people visiting,, p.s Hope Matthew had a great birthday!

We booked for the miner's and guided tour , and it was worth every penny. The young lady who showed us around was very knowledgeable about the mine ,as well as the area, She was also very cheerful and friendly as was the young lady in reception/ gift shop. Unfortunately, the weather was awful, so we couldn't take advantage of most of the outside exhibits, but we will definitely go back . It's a great way to spend a few hours while learning about the horrific working lives and deaths of the people that worked these places 😢

We had a great time here. Some of it is a bit run down to be honest but the staff we all brilliant and the actor who did the dragon's tale tour was absolutely fantastic. Our kids aged 5, 7 and 10 all loved it. We spent about 4 hours here in total and enjoyed the panning for gold and the water thing and just generally exploring the site. The tour was the highlight though. I hope they make some money to invest in bringing the site back to its best, because the tour experiences are right up there with the best. Should note it is dog friendly too, although the dog wasn't allowed underground. Thanks for a great day out.
