Mine tours
You can go underground in the mining shaft and get a real experience of mining. there use to be a tour of delprat's mine 8088 1604, which overlooked the town and took visitors over 100 metres below ground to workings that were active in the late 20th century. tour guides were men who worked in the mines. however, due to the resource "boom", delprat's mine was closed to the public in 2007. the daydream mine is just out of town on the road to silverton, and is much smaller, but gives an impression of what mining was like in the 19th century, when all of the work was done by hand.
Pony, Horse Trail Rides & carriage rides
There's plenty to do for the whole family at the silver city cobb & co stagecoach stop at 383 brookfield av silverton rd the edge of town. kids can have pony rides while bigger kids can experience trail riding or supervised horse rides, for those that can't ride you can have riding lessons or a coach ride.http://www.meanders.biz/
