Geevor Tin Mine Museum

Amazing Mine, you appreciate how much hard work went into bringing up the coal. 86 steps down but handrails to hang on to if you are bad on your legs. But still take your time and watch your step. Once out of the mine its a steep walk back up the hill to the car park. We asked if we could take the car down the hill to pick me up and thankfully allowed us to do that, thank you. Staff very helpful and experienced miners on hand to ask questions.

Absolutely brilliant day out. I'm not exaggerating, you will spend the entire day here. So much to see, do, explore and learn. The kids will definitely NOT get bored!! Speaking to some of the original miners who worked here was incredibly eye opening and emotional. We highly recommend this place when visiting the area!! Great views, great (well priced) cafe, great gift shop and wonderful staff. This place deserves 10 stars!!

It's absolutely brilliant. The people there were helpful, informative, and very nice. Nice shop, good cafe, and a great place to explore. The best thing about it is you can explore at your own leisure, and most of the volunteers are actual minors who worked at Geevor.

We walked along the coastal path and saw the mine ruins, didn't do the tour underground. The cafe has a magnificent view over the sea and serves some excellent food including fantastic and huge ham and eggs which we filled with a cornish cream tea, all good and very reasonably priced.

It was a highlight of our holiday in Cornwall. After seeing chimney pipes and slender tall ruins standing around everywhere, we became curious and decided to have a quick look at one of these mines for a few pictures. A short visit turned into over 4 hours of overwhelming learning. In the end, we were left with a sense of wonder, sadness or overwhelm? I still don't know ... in any case, all my friends are delighted with the tour. You are guided through the topic and history in a very authentic, detailed and broad way. The mates along the way help in all directions with valuable information on every detail that you don't yet understand. Friendly, professional and personally warm and emotional. Unique.

Spent nearly four hours here in a group of four adults, which included visiting all the buildings, listening to a talk from a past Geevor Tin Miner, the tour of the processing plant and underground mine and the museum. Loved the Dry Room most of all, which was a time capsule of daily life working in the mine. You get a lot for your ticket. I learned a lot about mining and was engaged throughout! Highly recommend!!

Wow, what a great day out! We weren’t sure if our dog would be allowed everywhere and he was apart from a small section of the oldest part of the mine which wasn’t an issue and we all got to enjoy it. The dry was my favourite part to see the life miners had (Don’t forget to clock out). Thank you for keeping this site alive

Wow. What an adventure. We came with fairly low expectations and had an amazing day out. We’ve got a 4 year old and a 7 year old and they both loved it. Especially panning for gold 👑 Meeting real minors who worked underground gives the whole experience an extra special touch. And the cream tea in the cafe is very good too.
