My family enjoyed the coal mine tour quite a bit. Remember to take a jacket, and be warned that you will be dripped on! I would also wear shoes, not flip flops or sandals. The train ride, however, was short and seemed way overpriced. You didn't really see much at all. Little kids might like it just because it's a train though. The facilities were very nice, there were some picnic areas and everyone there was wonderful to deal with.
