An interesting display of the struggles and wealth made from gold mining during the rise through to the rapid decline. An enjoyable session panning for gold and including a pleasant ride on the locomotive. To make this excursion more appealing and to capture the audiences attention, a more welcoming and engaging greeting would be sure to go down well. Perhaps, an interactive greeting would work, if human interaction doesn't work.

A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. Beautifully presented and untouched by time. Still as wonderful as last time I came 30+ years ago. Love the gold panning and the coffee at the cafe is great 👍
