Simple displays with a well presented history of the area in Goldfields times.
Best fun with kids of all ages. Lovely helpful staff.
Would be great if the hours were longer in school holidays.
It's not very big but a family ticket at $15 and then $5 per gold panner fits this nicely. Kids get to pan for gold and gems and mine spent nearly the whole three hours panning and searching for gold on the ground. They get to keep what they find and get a souvenir too. I had a nice time chatting to the two ladies who run it.
While this wasn't huge in size, the information was great. The "mine tunnel" we walked through was cool but, for us, the gold panning was the thing we came for. My 3 year old daughter had such a blast finding "gold and precious gems", it was a steal for $5. The guy who showed us how to pan was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience well worth it.
Very nice experience for our family. It was interesting to see how gold is found and learn about the mine history. The staff member was very friendly, knowlegable and he kindly answered our questions.
