Best Museum in Italia

M	Mattia Racca on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Abbiamo fatto il giro con il fuoristrada (non trenino) ed è stato bello. Guida simpatica che accompagna il giro con musichette goliardiche e spiegazioni su cosa si sta guardando. Ti danno anche martello e sacchetto per spaccare qualche roccia e portati dei campioni ricordo a casa. Anche il museo è carino. NOTA PER I DIPENDENTI : durante il giro in fuoristrada ci starebbe fare un paio di fermate in più per fotografare il bellissimo panorama o le molte attrezzature minerarie storiche posizionate in tutto il sito e molto carine. We did the tour with the 4WD (not the little train) and it was nice. Friendly guide who accompanies the tour with goliardic music and explanations on what you are looking at. They also give you a hammer and bag to smash some rocks and take souvenir samples home. The museum is also nice. NOTE TO EMPLOYEES: During the 4WD ride there would be a couple of extra stops to photograph the beautiful scenery or the many historic mining equipment located throughout the site and very nice.

G	G&S Hörgeräte on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On the website you can find different tours to the former mining area, the entrance fee for the museum before or after the tour is included. With our son, who is really interested in any kind of stone we decided to take the tour with the trenino. The road of the mine is dusty, so expect to get a little bit dirty while on the train. At several points an audio guide in Italian, English and German will explain some aspects of the history of mining or the abandoned machinery along the way. After about half an hour the tour will stop and everybody gets a hammer and a bag to collect stones on their own. This was the best part of the tour and it was fun watching all the kids and adults having fun finding pyrit/fools gold and other stones. The guide was very nice, helpful and so were the people at the reception at the museum. Although we did not ask for help he brought us a big chunk of pyrit, that was very appreciated. Thanks for this fun experience!
A	Alexander P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice train tours to former mining areas above Rio Marino where one can see pyrite sparkle and hammer away at the rocks. Museum itself is fairly small.
L	Leonardo Spina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience. You have the option between a train and a jeep. Train is more suitable for young kids and still good for the older ones. They bring you around the mines and give you a lot of interesting information. The audio on the train is not great, a bit covered by the noise of the train, but you can still get most of it. Translated in english and german. On the top of the hill you have a beautiful view and you can get fantastic photos. They also give you the chance to stop in one of the miner and dig to find minerals that you can bring home. The guide is very kind and provides a lot of interesting info. Great experience for kids and adults.
