Britannia Mine Museum

The Britannia Mine Museum features underground train tours through historical mining tunnels while presenting the region's copper extraction methods and machinery.

The facility operated as one of Canada's major copper mines for seven decades until 1974, processing millions of tons of ore through its 20-story Mill building.

The museum maintains over 7,000 artifacts, 9,500 photographs, and 3,000 documents that document the daily experiences of mining communities in British Columbia.

Located 55 kilometers north of Vancouver on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, the museum operates daily from 9:00 to 16:30 with guided tours and interactive exhibitions.

The BOOM! demonstration in Mill No. 3 combines lighting effects and machinery operations to recreate the intense atmosphere of industrial ore processing.
