Such a unique experience- not too often so you get to see a 0.75-mile hole in the earth! The scale of everything here, including the trucks, is massive! You can buy tickets online for a specific time slot to take a bus to the overlook. It's $6 well-spent- check it out!

What a view! Grab $6 tickets online and Follow the maps to the parking area near the base of the mine. Be sure to check in with the workers inside the visitor center then load the Bus at Your appointed time. Seatbelts are a must! Sit on the right side of the bus while you travel 15min up to the viewing area. You'll see many interesting things along the way We took the 10:00 shuttle up and took the 11:00 shuttle back down 2 viewing areas with placards along the fences. Not a guided tour, so do your best to read about it on your own Crazy huge pit with awesome views inside. We live in a wonderful world :)

Pretty cool mine outside Salt Lake City. The size is big, and apparently it's also one of the very few things visible from space. You purchase a ticket to shuttle up to the top, and it's a self-guided tour then. Expect to spend about an hour to an hour & half.

Havent been since '97 when I went on a field trip. Went back in '22 and wow it was worth it. The workers there were super friendly and had given a lot of information. Yes you do have to book online but honestly about everywhere is doing that, for $6 I will be going back again. Thank you to everyone that made my kids experience as great as mine when I was a kid. The bus driver we got told us so much about what was going on and what happen than. The gift shop lady that gave my kids some mineral, the gift shop is small but has so much incredible stuff to look at and want. The mine is amazing we got our tour early because we went early*. Would give more stars if I could, and all I did was look in the worlds biggest man made hole. It was incredible. Not for everyone but do your history research and learn about it and hopefully the experience will just as great for you.

Service is slow. Mechanics have a bad attitude. Shop is dirty.

I'm a Rio Tinto employee and visited the Visitor Experience Center after they recently opened it back to the public. If you haven't been here before, or haven't been since 2013 when it was last open, a lot has changed. When you work here every day, so much can change in a week. As a visitor, so much can change in a year. It's definitely a cool little activity for the family. There's a gift shop for those looking for souvenirs. The tour takes you up to a overlook point where you'll be able to see the pit. The overlook has some small exhibits and small examples of the machinery used in the mine. Currently, there is a shovel loading haul trucks pretty close to the road where your bus will take you up to the overlook.

Was cool! Some of the bus drivers are more informative than others but that is just the luck of the draw! Make sure to use restroom before getting on the bus because there are no facilities up at the visitor area. Takes about an hour round trip once you are there.
