Geevor Tin Mine

Step back in time at Geevor Tin Mine, a preserved 18th-century mining site turned museum. Families can explore the underground tunnels on a guided tour (approx. 45 minutes) – hard hats provided! Kids will love the hands-on 'Pan for Gold' activity, the huge mine water wheel, and the interactive exhibits in the Hard Rock Museum. The site also has a café, picnic area, and a gift shop. Highlights: underground mine tour, gold panning, museum with giant machinery, miners' dry changing rooms. Ages: Best for school-age children (5+). Toddlers may find the underground tour dark and noisy. Facilities: baby changing, accessible paths (some areas steep), café serving pasties and snacks. Practical tips: Wear sturdy shoes and a jacket (underground is cool, 10°C year-round). Book tours online in peak season.
