Bellevue Underground Mine Tours

A great place to visit whether you're just passing through and want to take a break for an hour or less, or staying in the Crowsnest; they have lots of tour times available. I've gone on this tour 4 times now with different guests visiting from out-of-province. Each time is unique, with the same main information provided, but different anecdotal stories of what sorts of things happened in the mine, people who worked there, etc. The counter staff are always friendly, the tour guides interesting, funny, personable, and knowledgeable. It's quite fun to wear a real miner's hat with headlamp before entering the mine, too. While waiting for your tour, there is a great little gift shop with unique and local items at reasonable prices, a variety of interpretive exhibits and artefacts to explore, a little picnic area down by the creek, etc. On one visit, we had our small dogs with us and had nowhere to keep them as we were not allowed to leave them at our accommodations unattended, and it was very hot out so they could definitely not stay in the car. As dogs aren't allowed on the tour, the counter staff graciously agreed to look after them for us. :) I don't know that this is something they could always manage, but is just a nice example of how considerate the staff are. Oh, and the tour price itself is very reasonable. Highly recommended!

We haven’t yet been on the mine tour but we were very fortunate to happen to be in the Crowsnest during the Bellevue miners picnic in August. It was one of the best events like this we’ve ever been too. Everyone was very friendly. There was lots of very good food and fun activities for kids. We highly recommend the annual picnic to everyone!

Beautiful mine tour. Great place to take the kids. Had a ton of fun and learned a lot of about how Mines used to work over 100 years ago.
Very accurate on their history. The guide was able to answer all the questions. Efficiently and effectively.
Will definitely be coming back when I'm son's older.

This mine surprised me! I learned a lot and the tour was well worth it. When they warn you that it's cold, it is. So make sure to dress appropriately for 0°C temperatures.

Do not wait until the end of the day to do the mines. We were told today that two girls didn't get a lunch, so they aren't doing tours at 5. So disappointed as we drove to the Pass mainly to see this.

I took my daughter there to the Bellevue underground mine tour it was very well presented and we learned a lot of interesting facts. The pricing was very affordable. Recommend this to other parents with 5 -14 year old kids.

Informative and fascinating. Follow the website caution to dress warmly!

Our tour guide was great! The staff was friendly and high spirited and the place has a rich history, when the sign says it's cold it's COLD, like 4°C on a 30°C day

What a tour! So neat to experience a peice of AB history in this coal mine. Tour guides were exceptional. Highly recommended.

It's sad to know that the miners were treated badly, even worse than a horse. Tough work in such a dark and dangerous working environment. Don't know how much better is the situation of miners today?

We were so impressed with the friendly knowledgable staff. A must stop . We learned so much.Very well done.

My family and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide was sweet and fun, the tour was interesting and well worth the money. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in the area!
