Great tour - Even though I live in the area I had never been to a gold mine. The tour was relatively short. Straight in and out. But our guide , Ian, was full of knowledge and talked the whole time making it very informative. I would definitely do it again and take friends and family.

Fun and informative - We did the Mine and Panning tour. Mike was our guide and he was awesome. He was very informative and entertaining. The tour gave you a great sense of the difficulty and hardships faced by the early minors. Would definitely recommend this for any age group. Have fun!!

You have to visit this mine! - What a fantastic group of people who works here. Very polite, patient, knowledgeable about mines, gold, history and so on. We’ve had amazing mine tour, toasting marshmallows, looking for gold, sledging, monster truck sleighing. Thank you, guys for a fantastic experience!

Definitely worth the cost of admission (but don’t forget to tip your guide). - We had a great time visiting the mine & grounds. We learned a lot and had fun at the same time. I’m 60 years old, but felt like a boy again exploring the mine.

Michael is the man! - The mine is damp and 44°. Definitely being a jacket. If you don't have one, they do have some extras. Michael was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. It was a great birthday excursion!
