Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do I need to make a reservation?
A: Reservations are recommended but not required. Please keep in mind that we accommodate reservation guest first, and then our walk-ins. Our goal is to get everyone on a tour or gold panning with relatively low wait times. Parties of 10 and over are required to make reservations. Contact us with any questions or if you need help making a reservation!
Q: What is it like underground? Are any clothing garments recommended?
A: The temperature underground is approximately 45 degrees Fahrenheit year around. The floors of our mine are dry, but there are mine cart rails throughout most of the tour. Because of these things, recommend a light jacket or sweatshirt and closed-toed shoes.
Q: Can I take pictures and videos while on the tour?
A: Absolutely! We love it when we are tagged on social media! However, we ask that you do not take videos of tours longer than 30 seconds.
Q: Are strollers allowed on tours?
A: Strollers are allowed. However, some strollers have been proven to be harder to move along the tour than others due to our mine cart rails. We have found that strollers with larger, rubber wheels have worked best!
