“It was the Black Chasm that drew me to visit Silver Mountain and I wasn’t disappointed. The guide/actor was great and it was truly scary! I also enjoyed wandering around the site, specially Woo Hoo Wood. Staff were friendly and helpful and I had a nice lunch in the cafe.”

“Very informative, the guide was very good. Seeing the insides of the mine was a real eye-opener. Lots of other things to see while there.”
