Gulgong Gold Experience

Our family really enjoyed the experience, seeing the historic photos, the long mining tunnel, and gold panning. Visit was short and sweet, loved it

We braved the non-stop rain to head out to Gulgong to visit the Gold Mine in the Central West of NSW/Mudgee Region.And I must admit it was worth the drive and effort.First off I'd like to thank Dave who welcomed us there and told us all about the history of the Gulgong town and the gold mine.The Gulgong Gold Experience is quite a popular tourist attraction especially if you have kids and they want to get a feel of what's it like to look for gold.You can buy a bag for $5 including a pan to experience searching for gold. It's a fun learning activity for kids and adults too (if you're up for it).There is a video that you can watch at the museum and learn about how gold was first discovered here and how the town got established around 1870. Even Henry Lawson and his family lived in Gulgong during the #goldrush.The place is run by volunteers who are very knowledgeable and polite.There is an entry fee of $5 per adult, $3 for children and $15 for families. They open from 1300hrs until 1500hrs Wednesdays through to Sundays. Headout to their website to find out more.

Very helpful staffWell pricedNot long and drawn outMy husband got a kick out of sifting through the panKids would love it

Lovely Experience. Friendly staff. Kids can spend some time with Gold panning, rest nothing much to do. Opening hours are 1-3pm only.

Great for kids! Panning the highlight. Volunteer staff very friendly. Take a walk around historic Gulgong afterwards

Our children loved the Gulgong Gold Experience. The pannng was a real treat for them, and Tony and Joy were so so endearing, this place is a real treasure. Take your kids and have a nice trip back in time!

Great family experience, the panning is well worth it... amazing staff and what an experience. Thankyou

An interesting trip back through time. I wouldn't recommend getting there right on opening time as it was very busy.

The guide there was brilliant and explained the heritage and history in detail, he knows his stuff and even volunteered to take photos for us! An interesting piece of relic in Gulgong. A must visit if you are traveling to Gulgong.
