This is a small shop but it was definitely fun for the kids! We had plans to go to another place in the area but they were closed that day so we ended up here. There is a list to pick and choose what you want to mine for along with the pricing. A lot of options for mining to choose from. We did the classic mining for the kids, which is gems and stones. You can either do it downstairs or upstairs. Of course the kids chose upstairs. So we headed up the stairs and the worker followed with the bags of gems and stones. She cut them open for each kid and they poured it into their tray, followed directions and put it in the water stream to rinse off the first to find their gems and stones. It was fun for them and the area upstairs was a nice space. It looks like they have a small space for birthdays. So that's very fun and cool for kids. There's a few photo ops. Once you're done mining, you place your stones/gems into a bag and head back downstairs. The worker wrote the kids name onto a certificate & gave it to them and allowed them to pick a candy with it. After, we browsed the store to look a more stones and items they had there. We got a pop gun for my son since it looks so nice and something fun to have a keepsake from the store. My daughter was just happy with her stones & gems. The whole experience took less than 20 mins but kids enjoyed it & had fun rinsing and searching for the gems/stones. It was nice they had pictures of each gem/stone so kids can see what they got. Definitely something to experience if you're in the area.

Geode breaking!

We went here with my 4.5 year old and had a wonderful time! They have a fun selection of rocks to look at and everything was reasonably priced. We broke two geodes which my little boy loved! We also did the mining bag and found a bunch of cool stones. They provide a guide for identifying the stones/fossils and we're still working on it at home. I'm happy to begin to instill a love of geology in such a fun way! I think my son will love this even more over the next few years as he grows!

Do yourself a favor and visit this incredible hidden gem in old town Temecula. In my quest to find a fun mother son date idea for my 7 yo, I stumbled upon Old Town Temecula Mining Co. and I'm so thankful I did. The shop is so charming and full of fun gifts, gadgets and goodies. The mining was wonderful too. Such a great value for the $ and such a fun activity to do with your kiddos. The owner was the absolute sweetest and made our visit so so special. We will cheerfully recommend this place and wi be back ourselves! Xoxo

See all

Pick up for Save Temecula signs was at this place. This is how I discovered Same Day T-shirt…read morePrinting. It just so happened that on Thursday I was tasked to find a prize for a game we would play at my Aunt's 90th Bday party which was on Saturday! I walked in the shop and saw that they print on mugs and my problem of finding a really nice personalized prize on short notice was solved! I designed the graphics on canva when I got home, set it up on their website, submitted it for same day pick up (late Thursday afternoon, by the way), picked up the finished mug on Friday. Total cost was less than $24 a mug including tax. I'm so excited to know about SDTSP and the possibilities of creating personalized gifts for any occasion. And supporting a local business!

I ordered two t-shirts and needed them within 2 days, so I paid for the expedited option and it was…read moretotally worth it. The expedited fee was very reasonably priced, especially compared to other places I looked at. The location is a bit hidden in the plaza, but I had no problem finding it using Google Maps, so it wasn't an issue at all. The quality of the shirts was right on par with my expectations. They were comfortable, well made, and exactly what I needed. The whole process was quick and easy from start to finish. Overall, a great experience with fast turnaround, fair pricing, and solid quality. I'd definitely come back if I need something done quickly again.
