Come on in and Warm Up
Idaho Springs winter activities aren’t hard to come by, but the Phoenix Gold Mine may be one your family has yet to experience! The mine is open for visits seven days a week, all year round (as long as the Colorado snow isn’t piled too high!). Come in and warm up this winter – that’s right! The temperature in the mine stays right around 45 degrees all year! Even on the coldest of winter days you can explore the magic of the Phoenix. The mine is a perfect activity for visitors of all ages. With well-lit, wide and flat passages, there’s something new for everyone.
Learn About the Magic of Mining
We’re known for having some of the best, most knowledgeable tour guides around. Throughout your 45-minute tour you’ll see natural veins of gold ore, learn about the gold extraction process and even get the chance to pan for gold yourself. Any gold you find is yours to keep! Don’t forget to make a wish when you pass by the mine’s “Lucky Bucket.” Legend has it, if you throw in a few coins, your wish may come true.
