Come and experience coal mining in Cape Breton. Situated along the North Atlantic coastline is Cape Bretons Miners Museum, a tribute to the miners and their families. Take a virtual mine tour where you will learn the history of mining and the evolution of coal through in this thrilling immersive exhibit. Then dressed in a cape and a hard hat, you are ready to tour our coalmine — an experience like no other and one you will never forget. Your guide will tell you about his life as a miner, the industry and the culture. His true stories will intrigue you as you walk with him on your tour. Each guide has had over 30 years experience working underground, so you are in good, knowledgeable hands.
