argogold mill and museum印象

This used to be a working mine. Now you can have a tour of the mine itself, see veins of silver in the walls of the mine. Then you get to go step by step from when they took the minerals from the mine to where they ended up on ground level. See the old machines and carts and equipment used back in the day. It is a very informative tour, good for adults but I'm afraid my 8 year old would've gotten very bored.

It was truly a unique experience and the personal attention that the staff and owner's give helped make this trip truly fun. If you want to learn about gold-mining this is the place to go.

5 min video and self guided tour, very poor explanations. Not worth the money. Could have been done much better.

16 dollars per person tour takes about a hour to a hour and a half depending on how long you spend looking most of the tour is self guided and you can spend as much time as you would like. My husband loved it seems to be ore of a man thing to me but was still a enjoyable experience. At the end of the tour you are given panning lessons and a small amount go gold to take as a suviner.

This tour was a short film and a self guided tour. We were taken up the hill dropped off, walked to a cavern saw a gold vein and that was the highlight. Our family, including a 10 and 12 yr old, found it very disappointing and not worth the time or the cost.
-
When early in the morning and was the only people there, was told a field trip was coming but we should be ok, got thru the tour and was ready for the gold panning and was treated as a pain instead of customers. Not sure that treatment was worth the drive.

Our daughter loved this place. You learn a lot about mining and Colorado history here. If you like old things, don't miss this as the display of old mining equipment is great. And the store has wide variety of historical things to check out.

While the Argo Mill Building is quite imposing as you view it from Interstate 70 in Idaho Springs, the tour is not a mine tour; it is a mill tour. After an introductory lecture, which goes on far too long, you are led to a bus which takes you up a large tailing pile to their "mine". The mine is a joke, extending a very short distance into the hillside, with absolutely nothing to see. After that, you are on your own to wind your way down through the extensive mill building , back to where you started. While there are placards to explain some of the imposing machinery you pass, the lack of a knowledgeable guide detracts measurably from the visit. As usual, at the end of the tour, you can try your luck at gold panning at tables provided..

A tour lady was nice and very informing about the miners and we went into a real mine. Also we saw mountain rams come down the mountain. It really is a nice museum and mill. Very worth seeing!

It was a good experience in learning about what all had to go through to get gold but what had put a bad taste in my mouth was that for the cost and no guide. For $20 per person, someone drops you off at the top, tells you where to go and then drives off. For an 1 1/2 hrs, you try to figure out the maze that they put you in and read everything for yourself. If I wanted to do that, I would have stayed at home to read about it and look at pictures. I would not go back or recommend it .
