    definitely worth it, especially for engineers that can name and recognize heavy equipment (motors, pumps, etc). The underground tour is a must visit! Nice for wedding, school or other pictures!

    Self guided tour, mostly underground through industrial tunnels where the mining history of this site is told in a modern and active manner. Great balance between history and stories of the people that worked here. Don’t miss the heritage movie that briefly explains the history of the site. Great movie! Very friendly personnel as well.

    (Translated by Google) "c-mine expedition" rather indicates that you are going to learn something about the mines. Very little is learned about what happened in the mines. Hardly any practical information. The only informative was that VR video, but half of the glasses are broken and they also feel dirty. you could do much more with this shame about our 8Euro. (Original) "c-mine expeditie" geeft toch eerder aan dat je iets gaan leren over de mijnen. Men leert bitter weinig over hoe het er in de mijnen aan toe ging. Bijna niets aan praktische info. Het enige informatieve was die VR video maar daarvan zijn de helft van de brillen stuk en bovendien voelen ze vuil aan. hier zou je veel meer kunnen mee doen jammer van onze 8Euro.

    I recommend coming here at least once in your life. It is a very interesting museum with a history! :) There is a bar next to this museum which is a plus if you are coming from far.

    The expedition is certainly worth it's price. We went in Corona times so the VR was not available but the tour itself has all you need. It's not really a museum it an experience. The sounds and visuals are on point. The view from the tower is worth the amount of stairs. Certainly recommend walking around the site and exploring. The kids game is a bit off a search but worth it in the end. Highly recommend visiting this if you are in Limburg!

    Great place to spend a few hours. Adults or Children, all are able to learn something new or reflect on the past. Nice way to relive the coal mine timeframe. Free parking and funny maze with some artstyle twists.

    Fun place to discover the inside of a mine. Bit of waiting time due to holiday season. Great little booklet for the kids to make it more interesting. Especially climbing the tower with the reward of a great view was fun

    Took the kid and my partner here on a whim, always wanted to explore the history of a mine and this place was close by to where we were staying in Zutendaal. A very fun and entertaining journey through time, into the mine and up the 362 steps to the top of the mine shaft, with a free audio guide as well. Everyone really enjoyed it, but what a life those miners must have had.. quite eye opening. The journey ends with a quite good VR experience. Recommended !

    Beautifull location and a lot to do on the location. It was the first time we went with our two young kids to an interactive museum and they really enjoyed it. Especially the 60m high tower was incredible. Very informative and very friendly personnel.

    Very interesting museum about the old mine. Has also a beautiful Cinema and great restaurants. Great family outing.

    The one star is only because the building is absolutely beautiful, because The bathrooms smell like something has died there a long time ago. A warning for everyone who is not Belgian, you can only pay with cash here. When you try to pay by QR-code on the staff's own phones, which is their preferred payment method, the app will malfunction for the entire evening and they will rudely announce it is your fault, because you do not have a Belgian bank account. Incredibly disappointed there are still establishments that operate like this in 2024.

    Really cool place to visit, interactive story telling. Interesting for different age groups. Very affordable ticket price. Kind workers who explained everything. Really nice virtual reality experience at the end. Worth visit!

    Beautiful place to learn more about the coal mining history. Very nice view also from one of the towers. The VR experience was so realistic it was almost scary 🤣

  • 5/5 Guillaume T. 7 months ago on Google
    it's a great place. The renovation of the mine gives a great idea of how the place was. Anyone who like history, big machines, or even steampunk ambiances. Should go.

  • 4/5 George G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good space, architecture and accommodation for a drink or meal. Too bad C mine expedite doesn't have many photos or information to learn more about the universe that was mine in the city I live in. In the hallways, there could be more pictures and illustrations - it's my suggestion (Original) Bom espaço, arquitetura e acomodações para tomar um drink ou refeição. Uma pena que o C mine expedite não tem muitas fotos ou informações para aprender mais sobre o universo que foi as minas na cidade que eu moro. Nos corredores, poderiam ter mais fotos e ilustrações - é minha sugestão

    (Translated by Google) Here you can visit the underground corridors of the old mine site. There are also regular excursions. Also visit the inner square where there are 2 shaft lifts. (Original) Hier kan je oa de ondergrondse gangen van de oude mijn site bezoeken. Geregeld vinden er ook excursies plaats. Bezoek ook het binnen plein waar nog 2 schacht liften staan.
