I’ve been twice. Kids loved it. Teenagers. Stop and watch the videos. Lots to learn. The tram ride is fascinating to see all the trash still left down there. I’d recommend it. Not a long drive from OKC.

Been through that area dozens of times, but have never gone to the mine. Anyone been? Reviews seem pretty good. 68⁰ in the mine sounds pretty good on a 94⁰ weekend.

If you are interested in aviation, check out the Cosmosphere as well. One of my co-workers went to the salt mine with his boys and he had really positive things to say about it.

My cousin that runs a print shop in Hutch stores his supplies in the mine because of the perfect humidity.
Hollywood stores film movies there including the wizard of oz. There was also a mushroom farm in the tunnel we went into with my cousin that tourists weren’t allowed in the late 80’s. I believe the government also has an area for storage that tourists aren’t allowed in as well. It’s been a long time since touring it, so all of that may have changed.
