Britannia Mines and Pasta Tuesday Lunch at Boston Pizza
Pick up @ 6260 Killarney St, Vancouver, BC V5S 2X7
Less than a hundred years ago, Britannia Mines* was the largest copper mine in the British Empire. Today, it’s a National Historic Site and a bustling, award-winning Museum. Wander freely and examine much of the mine’s equipment left intact. We will be riding the underground train and re-living what it was like to be a worker at the mine and experiencing the all new BOOM exhibit. BOOM! introduces audiences to the story, sights and sounds behind the architectural marvel, Mill No. 3, with an immersive live-action experience. This experience offers multiple screens, over thirty speakers, and leading-edge special effects — bringing all 20-storeys back to life! After the museum we will have lunch at Boston Pizza for their famous Pasta Tuesday. (guided by Simon Yan)
*There are 47 steps up to the underground entrance and heritage buildings have a raised threshold that can be difficult for wheelchairs to navigate. The main buildings are reached via wooden boardwalks and concrete walkways. The remainder of the site is gravel.
