From the entrance, all the way to panning for gold.. This place was worth the money. We had a great time. A lot of information, guides with a sense of humor, great place to tour, and you're not in a big group of people (at least when i went).
A friend and I took the Argo tour a few months ago and had a wonderful experience! Kenny was our guide and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the mining of the Argo. He made the tour fun for everybody and not just another history lesson. He taught us how to pan for gold at the end of the tour and once you get started it's hard to put that pan down to leave!
We arrived early and panned for gold before the tour. We were given a panning lesson and managed to find a few flakes -- more than we expected, and fun. We went into a room for a brief video and saw examples of the various types of rocks found in the area mines. We also saw demos of the processes of how the larger rocks were broken down. We took a shot bus ride to view the compressor room and then went ~130' into the tunnel. There was tour of the mill which is interesting given the age of the facility. It was a very enjoyable 2 hours. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and staff.
Thought I'd take the tour and do some tourist things but man did they surprise me with a riveting and interesting Tour!!! This was totally amazing and worth every penny. Ask questions and you won't be disappointed
My husband and kids liked it but unfortunately I had to wait in the car and by the river. We had our small puppy with us and I wasn't aloud to enter the property. I wasn't planning on taking the tour but it would have been nice to just be able to walk around and see all the cool equipment they had. My family really liked there tour guide said he was very knowledgeable and funny.
