Great experience, kiddos loved the wagon ride and we got to see moose which made it even better. Katie, our guide, was great and so knowledgeable. She made the experience so fun!

The entire family had a fabulous time. There was something for the 75 yr old and the 2 yr old was excited too. The staff was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. So much history and entertaining stories to keep everyone involved. The kids loved the hands on gold mining. This should be a must for visitors to Breckenridge. Nice family activity without being too commercialized. Plan to spend hours. Something for all ages

Our experience here was amazing! We brought our almost 2 yr old and our guide, John, was fantastic! He went above and beyond to keep our little dude entertained and was a great conversationalist who obviously has a passion for what he does. It was a 11/10 experience for us! We will be back!

Our family of two young kids (3 and 5) learned so much about rocks and minerals from Miner John. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about mining and spoke in such an engaging way for the kids to learn. He also taught us how to pan for gold and scooped up a fleck of gold for our son within seconds. Truly an unexpected and outstanding experience for families! Highly recommend.
