Diplomat Mine Interpretive Site

Great roadside rest stop with valuable info about the area's coal mining ventures. Informative placards, huge machines, short walking trail, field for kids or pups to burn off steam, and a well maintained washroom. I'll be back.

This was an excellent place to stretch your legs between Edmonton and medicine hat. I'm happy that Google maps brought us by this little piece of history. Clean washrooms and don't forget to donate!

A beautiful stop on our road trip. Garbages/bathrooms/picnic tables/gazebo small play area. Small walking path with 2 bridges and an observation area.

Nice little rest stop. The kids really enjoyed it there is a little trail around the parameter

Beautiful, well maintained site since my last visit. Interesting history. Even the bathrooms are immaculate!

Such a cool place to visit. The shovels are amazing and the paint job they done made them ever better. Not a rust old shovel it's actually nice and you can get right under and see all the gears. A must stop of tour traveling this way

Stop here on my road trip to walk my dogs every time! Love it here

It was awesome third time driving past it glad I stopped in

I've stopped a few times to stretch my legs and take a walk. There is lots of grassy space and tables for a picnic as well. The large machinery is very impressive and the displays are informative. Nicely maintained and important history.

A cool little place to stop. Nice walking trail, little sand pit for kids.

Huge machines! Only a handful of things displayed however worth a stop to see such neat history.

Google maps says it's closed, but I didn't see any signs at the site. I had no idea this place existed. It's definitely worth the stop to see the equipment and walk the short trail. The fossilized tree stumps are pretty cool too.

This is pretty fascinating, having grown up not too far from here but not knowing about it until driving past. It's pretty neat!

Great place to have a picnic with the family

Serene. The enormous display is jaw dropping. You gotta read the display to understand what they're for. Thumbs up for the maintenance crew. Please, drop some money for donation to help maintain the place.

Nice park along the street to stop with kids, have a look at the impressive machinery and let the kids play for a bit.

Such a great place to take a brake on the drive between Edmonton and Medicine Hat. Let the kids run around to burn off some energy.

The site is an excellent preservation of our past. Well preserved, exhibits of draglines from the earlier surface worked coal mines. Hiking trail , picnic tables and kids play area

It's out of the way, but the Diplomat Mine is a great place to take a look around and stretch your legs. The old steam shovels are very neat to see up close

Great static displays of very large open pit mining equipment. The grounds and the displays are well kept. There are latrines on site.
