Great experience
Some really interesting information shared around the history of panning for gold. Really intriguing to see old equipment. Added bonus of getting to pan for your own gold at the end is bliss. Finders keepers!

Fun activity for all ages
Thank you Chris, for a fun and informative afternoon and demonstration. The walk around the Chinese mining village was enjoyable and interesting. The best part for myself and partner was the gold panning demonstration class and help for all ages to aid in our new learned skill. Unfortunately we did not strike gold in them those hills lol. Though We can now take our new learned skills onwards and try gold panning out in the rivers and hope to find our fortune hahaha.

Rude staff ruined the day
We visited with 5 young children (aged 3–5, plus a baby) and unfortunately didn't have a great experience. We were strongly encouraged to do the guided tour and told it was great for kids. For children our age, it really wasn't — there was a lot of standing and listening and they quickly lost interest, so we ended up taking them outside rather than disrupting the other visitors. The self-guided walk was much better for a family with preschool-aged children, noting that there is no discount for not attending the tour. Unfortunately, what really soured the day was the way we were spoken to by a staff member afterwards when we stopped to buy the kids ice creams. The children were excited and a bit noisy, but the way the staff member spoke to us was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. We were actively encouraged (we being families with young children) to visit and take the guided tour, so you would expect there to also be some patience and understanding that young children will behave like young children. I wouldn't recommend the guided tour for families with preschoolers based on our experience, and unfortunately the way we were treated afterwards means I wouldn't be keen to return at all.

Gelungener Goldrausch
Unser Guide , ein Unikum :) , machte mit uns eine perfekte Reise in die Zeit(en) des großen Goldrausches. Nach einer sehr guten, ausführlichen und authentischen Einführung ( auch mit Mustern - z.B. Gold, Quarz etc. ) im „Infohaus“ neben der Rezeption ging es dann auf Tour ins Gelände. Mit Vorführung der Abbaumethode und Erklärungen zu den Maschinen. Im Anschluss konnten alle nach einer kleinen Einweisung selbst „ waschen „ Danke für diesen schönen Tag
