Good food and good service. It was Very cool seeing the town. We couldn’t go in to any of the buildings but it was still cool to see and good experience for my kids. They could run around and kinda go at their own pace looking around bc we were all in the same vicinity of each other, and we were the only ones there. That was sorta cool too. I’ve been to the restaurant multiple times and it never get old!!

Fun little excursion. A little train took us around to show the mines in the area and we got the package deal that let us see the mine and mystery shack as well. Wouldn't want to miss the mine tour. Would have liked the museum included in the package, but the package was still a decent deal. Recommend the burger at the snack shop. And ice cream is nice on a hot day.

Great adventure, historical and all around fun. Weather your passing threw or making a day of it. This place is worth it. Sight seeing is free and there's many things to do that are very affordable. My family and I rode the train and I gotta say it was definitely an experience. The train driver was a great story teller as well.

Family friendly and just a short drive east of Phoenix. Goldfields has a mine tour, train ride, panning for gold, and a mystery shack in addition to the shops and museum. The tour and train ride provide a ton of information about the history of the town, from its rise as a successful gold mining town to it's demise. Ice cream shop on site for a cold treat, fudge shop in the mercantile shop for those with a sweet tooth. Ghost tours offered at night as well for the brave.

Awesome place to spend the day! Most buildings are open for business. Lots of friendly faces and unique shops. Very cool historical items in the museum. The mine tour was well worth it. Most attractions have a military and senior discount. I would definitely visit again!
