Silver Mine Tour & Historic Wallace Trolley

This tour consistently impresses visitors with its authentic guides who are actual former miners, bringing real passion and firsthand knowledge to the experience. Marty, Lee, and Fast Freddy get frequent mentions for their perfect blend of humor and education, making the underground portion genuinely engaging. They don't just talk about mining history—they fire up the vintage equipment for live demonstrations, which visitors find incredibly cool and memorable. The experience includes both the mine tour and a trolley ride through Wallace that adds historical context to the area. Expect to get cold and damp down in the mine, so bring a jacket and wear pants regardless of the weather outside. The equipment demonstrations are loud but brief, and most people manage fine by just covering their ears. There are steep steps to reach the mine entrance, which could be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns. Book your tickets ahead of time since showing up without a reservation is risky. Families love it, repeat visitors return years later to share it with others, and the little souvenir at the end is a nice touch.
