Really pushy salespeople. Went in because that was the only place around to do gold panning. When we asked the price we were told $5, when I sent my 14 year old in to buy a pan they changed the price! We overpaid by a lot just to appease my child but their price varies depending on what you're wearing and your pocketbook apparently. Would have liked to have the $5 deal everybody else had maybe I should have dressed cheaper for the day so our price didn't change in the middle of their breath.

I have been coming to colorado to my family's house since I was born and I have never experienced anything as awesome as this tour! Our tour guide was great and the mine was unbelievable. Great views and you get up close and personal with the mine and its process. The giant trucks were my favorite part! I literally felt like I was in a Transformers movie all day. Worth the money and the drive. We will be doing this every summer now!
