Bisbee is only about 10 miles from the Mexican border and about two hours south of Tucson…read more However, the Queen Copper Mine Tour is very worth visiting. Every mine tour I've been on has been different and it's fun to see how they do it. With this tour, you are on the ground level and take a tram into the mine. You get off at various spots, but you won't do very much walking (there is a short flight of stairs to one of the stops). The tour guides are very knowledgeable and seems as if some of them actually had worked in the mine. Being a miner is definitely one of the most difficult, dirty, dangerous and labor intensive that a person can do, and it does make you appreciate how much work and effort it takes to extract any metal or mineral from a mine. The tour does a great job of explaining the process and how technology advancements changed over time from the late 1800's until the mine closed in 1975 Practical Information: 1. Make a reservation online, in advance. Traveling to Brisbee and finding out that you either you have to wait several hours for an open tour, or that they are sold out for the day is NOT something you want. 2. It's really not cold in the mine, since the part you visit is not underground, so you might want a sweatshirt or a light jacket, but that's about all. 3. Don't be late because once the tour starts, you forfeit your place if you aren't there when they leave. 4. The actual tour is about an hour.

Wonderful experience on the tour!…read more **Make sure you buy on their site before you get here... we did but they sold out for a lot of people! ** You take a mine cart into the middle of the mountain, and your tour guide will show you what they did in the past to get the copper out of the mine. It was a very unique tour as the others around Tombstone do not have this same type of experience. The only downfall I had was the extra information when it came to questions. Our tour guide seemed agitated even though he asked if others had questions and honestly didn't seem to know the answers more than what he was told to say. Other than that, well worth the tour and the money (also some cheap bottles of water in the store inside)

I wish the group size were a tad bit smaller, but I was able to hear the guide. We did get some odd photos when there were EVP spikes and my pictures before and after were clear.

It was a cold, dark night when I felt...off. I kept telling my partner I didn't feel like I was…read morepart of this world, and my heart was pounding. He said we didn't have to go, but I wanted to fight off this pain. Hours later, our tour guide would say that it's common for people to get possessed by the spirts of Bisbee during their visit. A woman beside me gasped. She told her boyfriend she felt 'different' all day. It was then I realized, I wasn't alone... I went on the 'Old Bisbee Ghost Tour' in January, and it revealed much about the dark past of the town. All attendees were required to wait in front of the 'Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum' by 7pm before we were whisked off through stairways & old alleys while we were told the macabre stories of the ghosts that live in the town. I really enjoyed our guide; I forgot his name, but he was a tall, caucasian, white-haired man with a top hat & suit. His voice was perfect for spooky narration, and had a few zingers here & there. He suggested we try the 'Ghost Pub Crawl' if we visit again- I might take him up on it. Expect to be walking a lot; there will be a lot of stops, but it's still quite a journey before you're free to disperse, so dress comfortably and warmly. This is not the best tour for people that do not like history, cannot walk or stand for long periods of time, have wheelchairs/canes/etc. and while children can attend, I can't see every child tolerating listening to stories for hours outdoors. If you want to bring the family, you need to determine if your kid is the kind to enjoy this too. Along with trekking up hills, I also had opportunities to enter a couple of spooky hotels. The stories about them made me conjure up my own stories. I'm a very imaginative person, so I loved picturing these ghosts among us. I won't spoil much, but my favorite ghosts involve a cat and 'The Cuddler.' You'll have to go on this tour to know more about them. Being a part of the 'Old Bisbee Ghost Tour' helps contextualize the surroundings, helping you gain a greater appreciation for how the town of Bisbee was able to survive all the horrors. I'd be glad to try a different tour, as long as another ghost doesn't mess with me!

WOW - Terry, our driver / tour guide is a walking, talking expert on Bisbee. Him, his parents and…read moregrand parents were born and raised in Bisbee. He is probably more knowledgeable about the area than anybody else (that's still alive LOL). He can even tell you when a historic property was built (and there are hundreds), who built it (and why), who occupied it and how much is cost to build (and the price it sold for if it was ever sold). The man is a talking encyclopedia for Bisbee history. He pointed out things to us as we drove by that you would have never noticed even if you were standing right in front of it. There are no two houses the same in Bisbee. Each home was built for different reasons at different times over the centuries. Incredible what it took to build most of the homes into the hillsides when you consider they where built over a hundred years ago. Terry can tell you the purpose and history of just about every business in the town. We had no idea there were so many brothels and jails. He pointed out one house to us that was a previous jail, but now has been converted to a three story house. The windows in the front still have the iron jail bars on them - very cool to see in person. Take the tour for yourself and see this incredible area. Strongly recommend you book the 2-hour Lavender Jeep Mile High Tour with TERRY as your guide. Also, take the Copper Queen Mine tour as well when visiting Bisbee !

My husband & I had booked the paranormal tour and ghost hunt at the Birdcage, but needed to run to our hotel room between this tour and that one which we had planned based on the schedule but because the tour guide was still talking when we were supposed to be checking in down the street we were forced to thank her and leave in the middle of her storytelling in which she attempted to "guilt" us into staying by letting us know we'd be missing information. It was really really uncomfortable for us. I don't recommend this tour. I give it 2 stars because they tell a lot of stories & we found a discount online...you get what you pay for.

This way, you can add more color to your experience! Lastly, I appreciate the ease and simplicity in booking, that he limits his tours to one-a-day and in smaller groups so he can really get into his stories as intimately as possible, that he recommends further readings and Google searches on some of the info he shares, and that he really enjoys what he does! Thank you Dr Jay!

First rule of the cave.. no pictures lol. Hence, no pictures are attached. They say it's because of…read moreaccidents reported from people not paying attention. Also, basically nothing is allowed in the cave. They had lockers that takes quarters but as far as I saw, no machine, you have to exchange with cash soooo prepare ahead. Leaving things in the car felt some what okay but not my favorite. I would appreciate if they had more security. They say they are not government funded so everything comes from public support. This was such a cool experience. You can tell the amount of work and detail they've put into the cave and preserving it. Truly different than other caves I've been to. There are two different parts of the cave you can choose from. If you can't do both my preference was the big room tour. I felt there was more to it, more things to see. Also, (sorry parents) perhaps the age limit made it more enjoyable too. Our tour guide Charles was INCREDIBLE. We did both tours back to back 0945 big room tour and 12 rotunda. Timing was perfect. Enough time to use the restroom and eat a snack. We brought our snacks, their cafe was closed. It would be an enjoyable experience to eat a packed lunch outside not sure if it's 100% allowed. Beginning of April was a GORGEOUS day. There's a McDonald about 12 min away. The big room tour is a man made/marked out, well paved easy walk/route. If you're worried about endurance or handiaccesible, it seems very accessible. The rotunda seemed a bit more incline but still well paved. You can wear white shoes and you wouldn't get dirty lol. I don't recommend open toes shoes/sandals because the Floor is very moist/wet. BOOK AHEAD. At least 2 weeks ahead to get the slots you want. If you're by yourself then a lot easier. It sells out quickly Restrooms were very clean and plentiful. As you wait for your tour guide before taking the tram to the cave there are another set of restrooms so that's appreciated. They want you to get there 30 min before. There really wasn't anything much to do ahead, it's just a simple check in. They have a mini museum that's nice to look around. You can get some good pictures outside prior or after the tour. Are both caves a must see, my bf says yes. I'm in between. If I would go back I would choose the big room tour again but that also has limited time opening due to the bats. As an AZ local or visiting this is a very enjoyable spot

As much as I love going underground and at this point have about 15 caves explored in AZ under my…read morebelt, I only finally made it to this one this weekend. Our caving group was having our winter conference here and it was really nice to use the visitor center's auditorium for our all day presentations. I learned about the invertebrates that live in caves, herpetology, bats and lots of other really fun topics about caves! Auditorium was very comfortable and all the IT worked great and the projector and acoustics were perfect. Seats also very comfortable. Later that day, some of us signed up for the headlamp tour of the Big Room that started at 5:30pm, which is only offered on Saturdays in the fall/winter. I was able to use my own headlamp and helmet. This tour is $50 and the price is higher than their regular tours, which is $30 for adults and all the lights in the cavern are on. The tour was good and I'm glad the proceeds of my ticket go to support this park. Phones aren't allowed into the cavern, so I took no pics. We also stayed in one of the 4 cabins on the campgrounds and it was fabulous. Cabin was super cozy and can sleep 6, one bed and two bunk beds. Cabins also come with a dining table, microwave and small fridge. Bathrooms right across from the cabin. Porch on the front and also a picnic table available. Fire pit also available. I had firewood but we could not make a fire because of rain. This was definitely glamping! And it was lovely. I would definitely do this again. Saw some fun turkeys too! A few things to note here, there is a Bat Cave Cafe on site open 11am - 2pm, however, it was difficult to get anything here as there was only one person working and a lot of us here. I brought my lunch from home. Night headlamp tour was fun but for $50, not sure how it differs from the day tours. But, do know that AZ state taxes don't go to supoort this park, so your tour ticket supports this park, so I can be OK with that. Its pretty amazing that two college students crawled their way thru a 10-12 inch sinkhole and then found this place! I am still in awe of this amazing discovery! And this is well before all the fancy equipment was available like lidar to help with uncovering new caves. And, once these guys, Tufts and Tenen found this cavern in 1974, they kept it a secret for awhile to protect against vandalism and damage. And in 1999, the cavern was open to the public. As someone who deeply loves caves, seeing this place was like one of the best sojourns for me! Im so glad I came to see this show cave! And please, let's all do our part to make sure caves are conserved so we can all enjoy them for a long time to come.
