Nowadays it's used as an amusement park and tourist attraction, because mining activity was terminated. Inside, the main attraction is a hall 85 meters tall, where you can have a ride on Ferris wheel, play mini-golf or table tennis, rent a boat, and buy souvenirs. Other mine chambers are available and worth visiting, for example, Iosif mine, that generates powerful echoes up to 20 times. Those visits to mines provide little information about mining activities but focuses mainly on entertainment and family day out. Make sure to dress warmly as the temperature inside is constantly about 10 °C.
Salina Turda is a salt mine in the Durgău-Valea Sărată area of Turda, the second largest city in Cluj County, northwest Transylvania. Opened for tourists in 1992, the Salina Turda mine was visited by about 618,000 Romanian and foreign tourists in 2017.
