Great place to bring the family & a camera. You can pan real Gold & Gemstones there! (3 levels $6,11, or $15) Wow that Mother Lode is exciting. They will help you do a report on the Gold Rush, & you can eat a picnic lunch or dinner there. You & the family can pan real gold from the creek, or at the panning troughs. There is even a Geocache hidden right there. www.geocaching.com/
