Everyone who visits the Kennecott Visitor Experience is positively impacting our community. All proceeds from ticket sales are donated to the Kennecott Charitable Foundation.
The Kennecott Charitable Foundation has donated more than $3.3 million to over 200 local non-profit organisations that support vulnerable populations in the Salt Lake region.
Since its creation in 1992, the Foundation has remained committed to making a positive impact for Utah residents and broader community. Funds are raised through tax deductible entrance fees from the Kennecott Visitor Experience. The Bingham Canyon Lions Club contributes additional funds from items sold at the Gift Shop.
We’re passionate about inspiring the next generation’s enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our future workforce depends on it. If you’re a K through 12th grade STEM educator in Salt Lake, Utah or Davis counties, we’d love to support you. We have STEM-related presentations, activity kits, and educational support to help teach students about the mining process, Kennecott’s history, and contributions to the local community. Email our STEM committee at rtkstem@riotinto.com.
The Bingham Canyon Lions Gift Shop is located in the visitor parking area and sells a wide assortment of items. From copper jewellery and trinkets to educational excavation kits, visitors of all ages can find something special to take home. A vending machine is available with drinks, but please note that food is not sold on site.
Safety is essential to everything we do at Kennecott, and your safety is our top priority when you visit the Bingham Canyon Mine. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of all employees and visitors. All safety rules and policies must be followed at all times.
