Sterling Hill Mining Museum

Interesting museum for every age. Never seen fluorescent minerals before. Mine was especially exciting - all these minerals in real nature!

Great place for all ages interested in the mineralogy and geology. The tours are great but the best part for me has to be the dig site. Bring your own hammers and chisels and see what you might find.

I was kinda hoping for more examples of the zinc glowing, but there is only so much left in the upper level of a very deep mine so it is what it is I guess. the examples of zinc that DID still remain was very beautiful! the history was neat and the tour showed off a lot. the corn dogs in the snack stand were just microwaved tho 0/5

Great little day trip. Wonderful guide and really cool gift shop! We will be back when the weather is nicer so the kids can mine for their own gems and rocks.

Excellent tour for all ages. Easy to get to, friendly staff and a great price for the 2 hour tour. Loads of history and entertainment. Having been on a few mine tours in the past in other parts of the country, I thought it was really neat that this place had stuff in their exhibit from all over the world. Worth the trip!
