An Awesome place to visit. Loved going through the mine tunnels. Especially loved the Ol Battery Stamper. First time I have ever panned for gold. The Man taking the tour was a Hreat Bloke too. A Heap of knowledge.

Great experience to see this ancient goldmine. Few tunnels are still open. Inside tunnel has approximately 5ft as height so if you are taller than that you might need to keep your head down.
The website said we could do a self guided visit, but the unexpected guided visit was awesome. Our experienced tour guide told the story from beginning to end about the mines and the story behind it and the city of Thames. We entered into the real tunnels and we know how people sacrificed their lives for the sake of gold. There is a room with a video telling the story from 1950 perspective. It costs 15 per adult and 5 per kid. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.
Awesome to experience something a bit different. Great value for money. Guide was lovely and really knew his stuff and definitely had a passion for the trade which helps make learning about these things more enjoyable
We enjoyed our visit to the goldmine experience. We learnt a heap about the mining of gold in the Thames area and myself and the kids enjoyed the short walk through the mine tunnel. The panning for gold was a fun extra and we came away with a few flecks of gold from it. A bit boring for smaller children but older kids and adults will be more entertained.
Very good. Excellent guides. Interesting with some interaction involved. Fun. Worth seeing.
Great views an excellent walks through cave's, an over swing bridges
Great experience to see the old gold mine especially with a guided tour. Very informative, history was well explained by the guide.
