Fun and interesting tour. Nice for the whole family. The guide knew alot and was very informative

Where to turn in for the experience!
Rose M.

What an unforgettable experience! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable from the moment we arrived. The tour of the mine was fascinating and fun! Took home some gems and gold flakes from the panning experience! Would recommend for adults and children!

Feb 10, 2033 We booked an extreme sledding day and got 3 runs on a mountain 10,100 feet above sea level You sled on your stomach and guide the sled with 2 handles. If you guide it right, it was FAST! I used my knees to help guide the sled as well. Heather was a superstar and awesome person who helped me out of a bind. Highly recommend

I panned for gold for a solid hour.

My ten year old grandson recently learned about the California Gold Rush from his fourth Grade class in Los Angeles, California. We (family and grandma) really enjoyed our tour guide because he was funny and informational as well. We liked learning the methods of mining in Colorado Gold Rush, drilling and panning - especially my grandson. He liked panning because it was really fun trying to get small pieces of gold. He was really determined to find gold, just like the original gold miners. He actually did find a little bit of gold, but not enough to be worth a lot. We also liked the Monster Truck Sleigh Ride and seeing the original Coal Miner's Cabin. It's hard to believe they lived in these kind of houses in that temperature.

My 3 year old and i did the monster truck sleigh ride and it was fantastic. The tour guide was so sweet to my son and great at making the entire journey fun. They let my son drive the jeep at the end and it was the highlight of his trip. Country boy mine is a must visit.

So much fun! We did the snowshoe adventure and sleigh ride here. The sleigh ride is a sleigh pulled by a truck fitted with snow treads. The snowshoe adventure is like an escape room but outdoors. Both were lots of fun and my family had a blast. After the sleigh ride we were handed a stick and a bag of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows to sit and make s'mores at the fire pit. The staff here is exceptional and make the day even better. If you're tired of skiing or just looking for a little side trek, stop by. They offer mine tours, extreme sledding and more.

My family decided to do the mine tour & panning while in town recently, and we loved it. Our guide, Nicole, was great. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Our group had kids and adults and she was great at engaging everyone. It was really cool seeing the inside of the mining area and the amount of water flow coming through. Afterwards, we panned for gold, which was probably our favorite part. We planned inside, and sat by the fire to warm up our hands when needed. I would recommend buying a small vial from the front desk area before the tour, that way it's ready when you start panning. I have a little vial with fools gold, calcite, quartz, and I even found a piece of amethyst.

Wow!!! This experience was really cool... Not in the sense that it blows you away.. but in the personal touches that the staff give you! Our family enjoyed our time here so much that we came here twice! On our last free day of vacation in the Breck area, we all agreed to go back up and hang with these guys... do some panning for gold, sledding, and just generally loving the view. Our guide Michael was the best!!! He made our trip and clearly loves his job! We also had the opportunity to meet the owner and take a ride in their new mountain off-road/snow climber. They're future plans for the site are increcible! You MUST make this a part of your trip to the area. We LOVED the experience!!!! The gold mining is unbelievable and very real! Swirl the dirt, grab some gold. That easy! Touring the mine is also very cool and with Michael's knowledge, even better. Bring your kiddos as they will LOVE this place! There is even a slide (chute) from the plateau to the parking lot. Oh, and during the winter, take advantage of the sledding opportunities... they are EPIC!!! DO IT!!!

Have you done it all? All Zip-lined out? Need a change of scenery from the slopes? This was such a fun way to try something new! We skied and snow mobiled but wanted to add another adventurous element to our Breckenridge trip and thankfully found extreme sledding the week before our getaway. First and foremost - the team!!! These are a great group of guys with the warmest and most welcoming energy! They truly love what they do and are eager to make guests/tourists happy during their visit. Each team member we encountered had such enthusiasm about the mining property, the insanely cool cars transformed into snow cats, the donkeys on-site and the history of the area. Our guide offered to take some very cool photos of us up on the hill and even walked down the hill to video us mid-sledding! The extreme sledding itself was pure joy - I laughed and screamed (out of fun, not fear) each ride down. You get introduced to the sleds on their practice track before going down the bigger run. I was surprised at how easy the sleds were to maneuver! Really nice to feel so in control unlike a lot of other snow sports/activities - plus you can always use your feet to slow down! They did a good job creating the run as it's not too scary for the cautious yet still provides a great thrill for adrenaline junkies. Being towed up on a massive sled trailer was a perk in itself and the views alone are worth a visit. I especially loved the close proximity to town because it made fitting the experience into our trip easy and convenient! We had to leave promptly for dinner reservations so my only advice is to leave yourself a cushion so you can experience the property for all it has to offer!

Our family of four did the mine tour this afternoon with Nicole. It was such a wonderful experience. Nicole was extremely kind, considerate and funny. They answered all our questions and made everyone on the tour comfortable. They taught us how to pan for gold and was extra patient with all ages of all kids. We loved our experience with them! Thank you Nicole!!! Maeve (sp?) was amazing as well. They were extremely educated and outgoing. I appreciated them taking the time to explain things to everyone! Thank you so much!!

The tour goes back deep into the mine. Dress warmly! Michael was our guide and engaged both children and adults while educating us on the history of mining in the region. He also taught us his to pan for gold at the end. If you purchase a ticket for the tour it includes gold panning at the end. The mine is located right in Breckenridge and offers a beautiful view from the panning area. We came home with a baggie of fools gold and other rocks.

Coming from the east coast, seeing caves and mines over there. This was on our to do list, we got a mine tour with Nicole. She was very informative and friendly, broke down every detail that there could have been. Talked about the history of the mine, the minerals, the tools, down to the natural life thriving on the walls. I was very impressed and I will definitely come back for another visit in the future, make sure to say Hi to Goldie. She's a miniature Jerusalem donkey, they have plans on getting her some play mates. Joe the mine mechanic was super friendly and talked about Donkeys and Mules, the potential for this place is through the roof.. I guess there was a show that use to operate that I hope they bring back, it talked about old timey doctors and morticians. They have gold panning, axe throwing, escape room, sledding, picnic area and a very fast slide that helps with a quick trip back to the parking lot. Please tip, it's expensive to live out here and these people are so nice to be out here to educate the rest of us on how our country was built.

The kids had a blast at the end of the tour hopping to strike big while panning for gold in the little creek.
