School Tours

Come experience an interactive and interdisciplinary approach to our mining heritage! Our tour has been voted the best field trip in the Pikes Peak Region!

Our Education Department is staffed with dedicated and knowledgeable interpreters who offer the finest museum tour in the Pikes Peak region. Learn of the historic mining process, experience operational mining equipment, travel through a recreated mine drift and view a superb 23-minute video on the social history of mining in the American West. Tours feature:

• Discounted class/group rates with advance reservations
• Interdisciplinary approach
• Interactive elements
• Customizable themes

When booking a tour, be sure to take advantage of our free Teacher Resource Packet available by emailing us at info@wmmi.org. It is useful for pre-field trip discussion or afterwards for wrap-up lessons.

By combining a typical tour that lasts 1½ hours and an in-reach program, classes can spend a whole day at “The Museum That Works!”
