Let's call it what it is. Tourist trap, plain and simple. Of course there's the freaks digging for rocks but honestly not worth it. Don't be fooled by flashy looking bright colored displays on way in
Great for collectors and young minds ! Plenty to see and know the history of Sterling Hill Mining Museum. Get to see glowing rocks and minerals in different colours. Know names of rocks and fossils ba
A great tour and really interesting museum. Would have liked more time in the museum - it is included in the tour time and not "free flow."
