Underground Salt Museum

Yesterday, I took the kids to the underground salt museum. Becca and Aidan went last year with grandpa and grandma. Kaliska and I went for the first time. The salt mine is 650 feet below the main building, we take a mine elevator down which takes about a minute and half to go to the bottom(it is dark the whole way down). You have to wear hard hats and have a breathing apparatus with you at all times. Once you get down in the salt mine you can take a train ride and a dark ride into areas that was once worked in the early 1930's and 1940's. They also are a underground storage area which houses movies, costumes, props, and other stuff.

The kids and I had a blast underground! Next time we need to take dad with us, it was a good way to end the summer before school starts next week!
