We had three adults and one child (5yo) in our group and we all loved it! We had time to pan for gold before the tour and that was a fun experience, we all found gold! The tour itself was so awesome and interesting! The tour guide made it so much fun! He was very knowledgeable too!

Miner Lisa gave us a tour of the mine that was phenomenal. She was engaging, informative and fun! We learned so much about the mine and how the miners worked. The tour could not have been better. Add to that some fun gemstone mining and gold panning and you have a perfect day. We found some great gemstones and we are having a few of them cut into jewelry. Fun for all ages. Don’t miss out on this experience!

Our group of 5 women enjoyed this tour greatly! I would highly recommend this for anyone, especially families. I think even my young grandkids would enjoy this. I even learned a little bit of history from our tour guide.

This was a really fun tour. The guide did a great job making it enjoyable by children young/old and adults. We learned a lot and our college-age daughters even had a great time panning for gold at the end of the tour. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Interesting place to visit! Guide was knowledgeable and a good personality! Just pretty neat on how they mined for gold back in the day, and after the tour we got to try our luck at panning for gold, and did find a couple of small pieces, neat gift shop also, and a good history lesson!

This was a very comprehensive tour. Chandler was our guide and was excellent. He had the perfect balance of historical knowledge mixed with humor. The tour was about 45 minutes long and after exiting the mine, we got to pan for gold (silver coins are included in your tour ticket to exchange for a pan after the mine). We also purchased a gem mining bucket. The restrooms are clean, the staff is very friendly and there are ample shaded picnic tables.

What a great experience. We did the mine tour with the panning for gold and everyone in the group got a little bit. We added in the gem mining and our group found emerald, sapphire, ruby, garnet, and many others. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the facility clean. Be sure to see Mike the lapidary in the gift shop area!

We just went as a couple, but this is definitely fun for the whole family. Our guide was Miner Lisa and she was phenomenal! She had a very engaging affect while giving us an incredible amount of information about the mine. She included the children in her storytelling, and was very knowledgeable when questions were asked. We also enjoyed the gold panning at the end; the staff there was also very friendly. The only thing you want to keep in mind when visiting is it is a mine, so there are significant declines with water and stairs to climb. Aside from that, I definitely recommend checking it out.

This place is great!! We visited on a recent GA Mtn. trip and really enjoyed the mine! The guides are very knowledgeable and present in a way that kept everyone engaged. We've been in many caves, but never a real gold mine so this was both fun and educational for our family. The panning for gold was fun, my grandson found the most in our group, he had 4 pieces. We got the $50 bucket of gems to share and everyone ended up with a good amount of gemstones, I even found an emerald.

This was a on a whim excursion. We were not planning on visiting here, but when we were recommended it by a family member we couldn't pass it up! We did the underground tour, panned for gold and did the gem mining. The tour was great, not too long and our tour guide was great (even with his dad jokes)! My kids especially liked the panning for gold and gem mining. I would highly recommend!
