It really depends on what you want to do. We looked around andeven went out to the area where you can dig(it’s on a embankment. We only spent about 1 hour there( not worth the money to do that in my opinion). So we did the little self guided tour once again not really worth it. The best part of that was seeing the trout. We did really enjoy purchasing the buckets of rocks to go through to see if we could find gemstone. We did. I much preferred Gem Mountain. But it was nice. No more than half a day.
