I decided to visit the highly recommended Peak District Mining Museum while I was in Matlock, and it was well worth the trip. The museum features a variety of mining artefacts, as well as an impressive collection of crystals and minerals. There's a lot of history to explore, and you can also take a mine tour. Admission prices are very reasonable: £8.50 for adults for either the museum or the mine, or you can purchase a combined ticket for £16.
We visited in March 2024. A great museum, family friendly with great staff. As an added bonus, we were given a tour of Temple Mine. All in all a fantastic day out.
Left our five star rating a year ago and we returned today with the parents in tow. Fantastic experience doing the mine tour and the museum entry for all ages 7-65. Theo's tour was great, friendly and knowledgeable, just like our tour last year with the very friendly older gentleman. You can really see the passion everyone has for the history. The kids loved climbing the play mine shafts and the panning for gold was a really fun addition, a few extra bits of fools gold to find in the baths would have been great. So many fantastic artefacts and so much information, we could easily have spent a few more hours there. We will definitely be back!
Amazing place to visit.nGreat amount of knowledge and new things to learn. Some bits are old school but it adds to the feeling of the place.nnI didn’t see a lift for the upstairs?nnPrice is very reasonable and you are able to go back again within 12 months.nnHighly recommend!!
Visited the museum and Temple Mine with the kids and had a really good time. Was expecting a rather dry museum about mining and consequent whining from the children while we waited for the mine-tour, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The museum has a good number of interactive exhibits but also has a number of 'hidden' mine passages built into the walls. The kids absolutely _loved_ these and kept vanishing into one hole only to reappear elsewhere in the museum.nnThe tour of Temple Mine was really well done. The mine is fairly small or at least the bits accessible on the tour but our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable and really brought the place to life. You also get to pan for 'gems' at the end of the tour nothing valuable, but plenty of iron pyrite which glistens and fascinates the kids - you get to take away anything you find in a provided Ziploc bag.nnThe museum and mine far exceeded my expectations and made for a really good couple of hours out.
