We had family that came for a visit. They wanted to see something interesting and southwestern so we ended up at Goldfield. Before we knew it we had been there 4 hrs. Both parties really enjoyed it! More

It's touristy, but fun. There is a "mine" tour with short talk about mining in the Superstition Mountains. There are good places to eat. It's very close to Lost Dutchman state park with views and trails to Weaver's Needle and beautiful flowers if we've had a rainy winter/spring. More

Do I have to give it even one star? Please don't waste your time or money by visiting this place. Our family drove here as part of a family reunion with children, grandmother, aunts, cousins. NOBODY enjoyed it. The expensive train ride is worthless. It takes you around the outside of the town painfully slowly to see trash and stacks... More

Goldfield Ghost Town is not too commercial. Based in an old mining town, it successfully recreates the old west. We visited during the week, but I was told on weekends there is a cowboy gunfight enactment! The restaurant is a saloon, complete with swinging doors and entertainment. When we were there, a yodeling cowgirl and her John Wayne impersonator husband... More
