Britannia Mine Museum

The Britannia Mine Museum is a historic site located just outside Whistler, housed in a former copper mine established in 1904. Visitors are greeted by the striking site of the towering headframe and remnants of industrial architecture, where the story of mining in British Columbia unfolds through exhibits and interactive displays. Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the underground tunnel tours and learning about the mining process. The museum is nestled along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, making it an ideal stop en route to Whistler. Check for guided tours to get the most out of your visit, especially in spring and summer when the weather is milder.
