Arigna Mining Experience: Arigna
Mining Experience opened Ireland’s first Coal Mining
Museum in April of this year. With an exhibition area tracing
400 years of mining and a tour which actually takes you through
what was a working mine, the whole experience is both educational
and extremely intriguing for kids. All of our tour guides
are ex-miners and are therefore able to relate a history of
a life that no longer exists in a way which is both educational
as well as being interesting.
