The RV park is very basic -nothing fancy and it's close to the freeway so you definitely hear highway noise but it was still fine. The owner and the tour guide and everyone who works there was incredibly nice. A great trip and the boys want to come back soon!

We came to Coeur d' Alene during December and museums and other places are closed for the season. I…read morereally wanted to go to the silver mine, but it was closed for the season, but this Gold mine is open. Based on the reviews, decided to come. This is a tourist trap for sure. This is located in Kellogg, Idaho. The price of $27 a person is high when you factor in length of tour compared to price. I am giving 3 stars because I did learn a few things and my grandfather was a coal miner, so it gave me some idea of what a miner job entails. Gold mine: small mine that you get a guided tour. You get to see how miner searched for gold on the quartz veins. Bathroom: warm and average clean

So just keep in mind that you are in for an adventure and everything should be viewed skeptically and with a healthy dose of rural Idaho grace. We came for the cave, and walked away shocked by the museum. Idaho's Mammoth Cave is located near Shoshone ID. You'll take H-75 and see two options to the left to get to the caves. The first left is a smaller, bumpier road, so I suggest waiting for the second turn. You'll pull into what looks like a bunch of dumpy outbuildings and a giant round hut. Turns out...it is a bunch of dumpy outbuildings and a giant round hut. There are tons of falling down structures and old farm equipment, dotted by giant rock heads and strutting peacocks. This place also stylizes itself as a bird sanctuary, but we only saw peacocks. A lot of peacocks. You'll go into the giant hut, which is the entrance to the cave and to the "museum". We were greeted by a kind young man who gave us his canned introduction of the place, handed us a lantern and pointed us to the cave. Unfortunately this place is not ADA compliant. The path down to the cave is a dirt path, pretty steeply sloped. The entrance to the cave has steps and the cave itself has very uneven walking paths and is rather narrow at a few points. You will immediately feel a temperature drop. The cave trail is only about 1/4 of a mile, but you lose the outside light quickly. Definitely keep your lantern on and don't turn it off on your unsuspecting partner who will shriek, hit you, and then wrestle the lantern away. :) The cave is cool, with some homespun signs with some (questionable) information. After exploring the cave, you'll return to the surface along the same path. Then you can explore the "museum". I put this in quotes, because it's more a freaky curated collection of things. There are three concentric circles that you will navigate to see SO. MANY. THINGS. Many of them fake, some of them probably pilfered, and all of them so dusty. You will see a lot of taxidermy. No doubt those things are legit. I have serious doubts about the dinosaur bones and ancient artifacts. There is no attempt to protect any of the artifacts and my historian's heart was screaming at the lack of order, proper dating and classification, and controlled containment. Regardless of the legitimate status of this place, it is a true Idaho experience. Owned by a private family, out in the middle of the high desert, with zero attempt to pander to the masses. This place screams Idaho and is absolutely worth a visit.

The beef patty was slightly overcooked. I'd ask to have it a little pink. If I were make a stop here, I'd order the burger again but without Gorgonzola and ask for the patty to be a little pink. Waitresses were super nice! Thank you!

You can play slots here, enjoy a meal and drink at the bar, and visit the gift shop. The gift shop really has something for everyone. Need a knife? How about a dream catcher? Maybe a mood ring is more your speed. They have all of the above and more. You can also purchase a silver dollar here too. If you want one to take home, you can find it in the gift shop. If you want to add one with your name to the collection, you can do that at the bar. They will add them once a year to the walls, so the ones we purchased during our visit might not make it up on the wall for a while. But I guess it just means we'll have to come back to see when the tally on the wall exceeds the number of the ones we purchased. During our visit there was over 87,000 silver dollars on the wall.
