The electricity was out during part of the visit (no fault of the facility as the transformer nearby was damaged). The staff were apologetic about not having power in the exhabit area, though the mine train and the mine tour were not affected (backup generator). The tour was informative and fun. The power came back right before we ended the tour so we were able to enjoy the "Boom" show, which is a must during a visit.
All the staff are friendly and helpful. You can sense their passion and the love they have for the museum/mine. This is definitely one of the places one must visit while in the Vancouver area.
