What's On: For Kids - National Coal Mining Museum

Open Wednesday to Sunday 9.45am – 4pm

Please note that we have temporarily paused our iconic Underground Tours until April 2025, to install a brand new winding engine. The Museum remains open with a brand-new Time Tunnel experience now bookable. Underground Tours can now be booked and will be back on 2 April 2025.
