Almost forgot that we had visited here in june 2012. We had a good time, learned a lot about mining. and we also learned how to "pan" for gold. We actually found some specs of gold, they let us take it home in a small vile. It's a fun place for kids, and adults alike. We would recommend it for... More

Had coupon for but 1 admission get one free so it was onlt $10. Pretty touristy. Hardly any gold was actually discovered in this mine so don't really understand why they chose this spot for a gold mine tour. Tour well planned, bribg light jacket as 52 degrees in mine, felt great cuz it was 100 degrees outside. Get to... More
