Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway

We love this tour. Have done it a couple times now. Last time the power went out while in the tunnel! Wasn’t supposed to but definitely added to the experience!

Ok, this is kind of hard to review, but I’ll add my 3 cents.

1. Everyone was friendly!
2. Bill, our mine boss was fantastic, super authentic, knowledgeable and very friendly
3. Train ride was fun, operators we super nice

Now, my 3 cents:
Not worth the over $120 we paid for our family.
Sad that you don’t enter any real part of the mine (understandably, but still 😞)
Some may love the history and experience, but once was enough for me.

Overall, it’s hard to not come away appreciating the history, Bill’s stories & humor.

If you go, keep your expectations low, enjoy the time, and you’ll have fun.

Went to kimberley to check out the underground mine tour. Was pretty awesome, and was led by a former miner that actually worked there until the mine closed in 2001. He showed how some of the machinery and drills worked as well as explaining how the ore would spontaneously combust and turn into "hot muck". Also explained rescue procedures and how the breathing apparatuses worked. As well as the all important restoration procedures and water purifying operations that are still ongoing today. Totally worth the cost of admission!

Great attraction letting visitors see the history of Kimberley with first hand knowledge of retired miners. Highly recommended.

Great visit at the mine. We did the two hours tour. Starting up the hill to the mine. Having the chance to meet Bill Robert, min worker for over 50 years. He give us a couples demonstration of mining tools.

You can feel the emotions behind all the story and memories that he share with the group.

The powerhouse was fantastic with a other live demonstration of technology behind the mining scene.
