Parking is $10. We paid in the museum and then walked back to the car to place the pass inside. Lots of historical sites to see. We walked everywhere and got 5 miles exercise by the end of 4 hours. The trail by the Catholic cemetery to the monument was too steep for me so we walked the pave road. The ice cream at the store was a nice way to end the day.

Went for a school Field trip, our kiddos had a blast. So much to see and explore. We got to mine for gold, kids got to take home their own gold. Friendly staff.

I recently had an amazing day exploring a place with so much to offer! Finding cheap parking 🅿️ was a great start, making the whole experience budget-friendly. I enjoyed a fascinating movie 🎬 that provided an overview of the area's rich history and scenic beauty. I even tried my hand at gold panning 🪙, which was a fun and unique activity. Stepping into the old west town 🤠 made me feel like I'd traveled back in time, with its charm. The entire place is perfect for kids 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, offering a blend of education and entertainment. #FamilyFun #HistoricalAdventure #GoldPanning...
