Must Do In Colorado (non hiking edition) Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure with your kids? Take them to the: 📌 Matchless Mine and Baby Doe's Cabin @visitleadville The Matchless Mine, in the Leadville Mining District, is one of the most famous mines in Colorado. It produced millions of dollars of silver in the early 1880s ….and nowadays this is a fantastic destination to bring kids, as it offers an educational and adventurous experience. We took a self guided tour ( as guided tours weren’t available this weekend), but I heard from other people that guided tours are so much more fun! Enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will provide you with fun stories and anecdotes, making the whole experience both informative and entertaining. You can even get a gold panning lesson. Additionally, Matchless Mine offers breathtaking views of the Sawatch Range, providing you with a perfect picturesque backdrop. 📅 Open May through September 📍 The Matchless Mine is located 1.25 miles up East 7th St 💰 Price $15 Guided and $10 Unguided Did you visit an old mine before? What are some other mines we should visit in Colorado? . . . . . #visitleadville #leadvillecolorado #matchlessmine #colorado #coloradowithkids #explorewithkids #visitcolorado #coloradomountains #optoutside #letthembelittle #coloradomom #coloradolife #colorado_creative #coloradical #travelusa #coloradohistory

$10pp for a self guided tour or $15pp for a guided tour. The tour does not include entry into the mine, at all. The tour includes walking from printed display to printed display, most of which are outside. There are two structures, one of which was where the owner of the mine lived for some time, and the other has more materials used in the mining/metal evaluation process. I think the price for what you get is a bit steep; there are (free) stops on the side of the road that offer more than this place. The people working here are nice enough, and they do offer some discounts ($.50 off) but yeah... There isn't much to this place.

Brenda, a former miner herself was our tour guide. She has some amazing insight into this mine, the life of miners and the history of the Tabor family. If you're in Leadville do yourself a favor and check out this gem and pay a little extra for the guided tour! It's definitely worth it if you enjoy history and want to learn a little more about the history of this area of Colorado. Discounts are given for seniors , AAA membership etc. It is cash only.

The matchless mine is a well preserved silver mine that plays a prominent place in Colorado's mining history. Visitors can can take either a self guided tour or else a guided tour of the property to learn the history of the Tabor family that owned the mine. Both tours are worth taking. We took the guided tour a few years ago. This time, we took the self guided tour because we had our young grandson with us. There are numerous places where descriptive signs explain how the...
