We arrived early and panned for gold before the tour. We were given a panning lesson and managed to find a few flakes -- more than we expected, and fun. We went into a room for a brief video and saw examples of the various types of rocks found in the area mines. We also saw demos of the processes of how the larger rocks were broken down. We took a shot bus ride to view the compressor room and then went ~130' into the tunnel. There was tour of the mill which is interesting given the age of the facility. It was a very enjoyable 2 hours. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and staff.

Thought I'd take the tour and do some tourist things but man did they surprise me with a riveting and interesting Tour!!! This was totally amazing and worth every penny. Ask questions and you won't be disappointed

Very cool site, a mine and service tunnel that was decommissioned in the 1940s, leaving many of the ore processing devices intact. Great, informative hour and thirty minute tour followed by learning how to pan for gold. Loved it!

I really enjoyed the tour of the old silver mine. the video information and the tour guide information was very interesting. at the end of the tour you get to pan for gold which is kind of cool.
