You are welcome to book online - and hopefully the mine will keep you out of any bomb cyclone weather :)

Although somewhere in his deep distant past there may be some Germanic ancestors, Daniel is, in fact, a very talented actor from Idaho Springs :)

Hi, I agree that your child would likely be fine in a front carrier, just make sure you wear shoes with good tread so that you don't slip. On our tour the guide demonstrated the "widow-maker" power drill which was quite loud and would definitely startle a young child, (plus may not be good for hearing). You could request that they not do this, or let you walk out prior to the demonstration. If you decide not to go inside the mine, the other exhibits, gold-panning, and the view are also worth the visit.

Hi Paul, come and see! We have had people with Claustrophobia who have really enjoyed the tour. The mine shaft has good head/width space and our experienced tour guides will do all they can to make you feel comfortable. If you decide that it is not something that you can do, we have gold panning in the creek and we are surrounded by spectacular views and walks. We look forward to seeing you......Sue
