Goldfields Mining Centre

Very good place to entertain the kids. I would highly recommend coming here, it is a very fun experience! You can also see beautiful views and see the history of this amazing place!

Great tour and guide was super informative. Got to try gold panning (with no luck). Worth the visit! Set aside 1 to 2hours for this. Parking available just by the highway. Get cheaper tickets via Bookme

I must admit I was not sure what to expect, when I crossed the bridge but enjoyed it so much.The staff were friendly, and super helpful. I learnt so much about the history of the Golf fields, about Gold in general, and loved the lesson and experience of panning for Gold.

Such an amazing place, staff were so friendly and. Informative. Lady in the shop was kind and helpful. Gold panning was so much fun! Great place to look around and appreciate the history. Highly recommend

A small operation as far as arranged NZ tours go, nonetheless well worth a visit for self guided walk, followed by a hugely knowledgeable guide and some gold panning, I found 2 flecks of gold!

It's absolutely amazing how much rock and rubble that was shifted with picks and shovels, until the 1930s Sluice working, the hydraulic monitor was supplied by pipeline from a high dam . There are 2 walks available, the self guided walk 1hr and the guided walk 30minutes and then another 30minutes talk in the shade on how it it all started back in the 1860s, the guide definitely new his history. And then another 30minutes starting up the Stamper Battery and giving a short demo of the Sluice Gun in action . . So allow 1.5 hrs to do the short walk, History in the shade and the live demo of the Stamper Battery .

A great little experience with very knowledgeable staff/tour guide. Awesome little self walk track with info along the way. Don't forget to try the Gold panning at the end!

Great place to take kids to explore and learn the history of the area

Such a nice little outing. Learnt some really cool things about the area and even got to have a play with the equipment. Loved the gold panning!
