Britannia Mine Museum (about a 45 min drive from downtown Vancouver) - suggested time to allow for a visit is 1 to 1.5 hours. Guided tour (inc underground visit) takes 45 mins (& they say to be there 20 mins before the tour). Cost ($Can) Adult $ 29 Senior (65+) $26.50 Youth (13-18) $23.00 Child (5 - 12) $18.50 Under 5 - free Is it worth the price? - depends if you are interested in copper mining. We did it as part of a guided tour which also included the Sea to Sky gondola, and I'm glad I went. However - when we visit Vancouver later this year we will do the gondola ride again - but give the BMM a miss.
