We enjoyed our tour at the Atlas Coal Mine. We would have liked to have done the tour that took you into the actual tunnels of the mine, but we had our nearly 3-year-old daughter with us and they say it is not suitable for anyone under 4. There were still other options for young families. We ended up doing... More

Well thought out and displayed historical site to acknowledge and celebrate the coal mining history of the Drumheller Valley. Kudos to Linda and her staff for making this site a success.

My husband and I wanted to see what this place has to offer. Staff are VERY well informed & welcome questions. We went on a VERY hot day - we would have done & seen more but almost +35 with a baby makes limits on what you can see. We will go back.

This is a must see if you are going to go through Drumheller. Be prepared for heat and actual walking/hiking although there is also a train tour for those less strenous types. The interpretative staff really get into their jobs--ask for Chelsea--amongst others. You will be in the midst of authentic mining buildings and materials and learn stories of how... More

This is a historical coal mine and one of the last of it's kind.. best to see in dry weather as the trails can be slippery in rainy weather...well worth the time to stop by and have a look around. The interpetures out there are very friendly and informative.

As a family we stopped here for a break while driving to the hoodoos. We took in the tour about the history of the area and the mines. Only a short stop, but got refreshments and took pictures and learned a little about the area. Great day tripping stop!

This place is a “must see” – something totally different. To get to it you must drive on Hwy 10 through part of the badlands along the Red Deer River, which itself is well worth the drive. The staff was very knowledgeable and obviously loved their jobs. We met with Robin, a carpenter restoring the site; Aaron, a tour guide;... More

The site was really interesting, and the tour guides were really friendly and knowledgeable. We lucked out and went at a time that it was almost empty, and got the guide to ourselves. We took a tour into the mines and it was fascinating!

Most of the site can only be accessed on tours, which are rather expensive. It is not exactly clear at the outset what you will see; the train ride is very short (with lots of talking). The tunnel tour goes sort of underground, but not actually into the mine, but is probably still the best experience. All of this is... More
