    Just ok. My partner dredged. I found it boring but there were other couples who were having a good time. Some nice shops inside.

  • The last tour may have been the best.

    The day was chilly but that didn't discourage your excellent team of young guides and associates. As we moved through the tour it was as if we were your first guests and welcomed with the excitement of the gold rush. The narration from Tim was wonderful as was the help from the crew panning for gold only to us strike it rich. I was amazed by the venue itself and the historic site and living history. Most of all I was impressed by the flowers and hanging baskets. Never on my jouneys this summer have I seen such amazing beauty. evidence of hard work and horticultural skill. Great way to wrap up my summer in style.

  • Surprisingly Fun!

    This tour was included with our Princess Land tour and was the second part included in the day with the Discovery Paddlewheel trip. It sounded kind of cheesy, panning for gold, but it was actually a fun experience. Also interesting to see and hear about the Gold Dredging of the past as you rode on a train past displays of equipment and guides giving explanations. Guides were all excellent and very helpful. Turns out, everyone had gold in their pan, they even had a weighing station where you could see "how much" you had panned. Fun time and well worth your time to experience this Alaskan tour.

    We had already planned on the Riverboat Discovery tour plus lunch so I kinda just tacked this on since we had the time. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. We learned a lot about the Gold Dredge and how it operated. Our tour guide was informative but made it fun to learn about as well. At the end, we were able to disembark the train and try our hand in gold panning as well as tour the actual gold dredge building. If you have a full day, would recommend doing both Gold Dredge 8 & the Riverboat Discover (the lunch you can also tack on was very good as well).

  • Great start to our Alaska Trip

    This was our first stop on our 2-week Alaska trip and we had a great time. We learned quite a bit about the gold rush Alaska and the Fairbanks area. The tour kept our party of 6 (all over 25) very engaged. Highly recommend for those visiting the Fairbanks area.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It began with a talk about the pipeline, how it was built, how it is maintained and the impact it has had on the animals. That was followed by a train ride out to the dredge. Along the way we were given the history of the area and particularly the history of gold mining. Along the route there were various demonstrations of old mining equipment. We were given a demonstration on panning for gold. It’s a lot of work! The dredge operation was explained and also why it is no longer in operation. We were each able to pan for gold and keep what we found. They had cookies and drinks which was a nice surprise. They had a lovely gift shop along with antique mining equipment, fossils and pelts. It was all very interesting. Everything was well maintained and clean.

    A brief explanation of the aleyska pipe line, then we boarded a cute little train for a short ride to the Gold dredge. Once off we got to pan our own gold. That was exciting. The suspension was real. Then we got to have a wonder through the gift shop and around the dredge. Then boared the train back to our starting point. All the staff were informative and helpful. Great look back in history.

    We love trains so we will go on any tour that involves a train. We thought it was going to be “cheesy” but this activity turned out to be so much more! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history of the gold rush & the process of mining gold! We enjoyed panning for gold & spending time at the large lovey Center! There isn’t anything negative I can say about the experience! Well worth the 2 hours and the price of the ticket! We recommend this tour to all ages!

    Would put this a close 2nd on my list of things to do in Fairbanks and definitely worth your time. With this you get a train ride out to Gold dredge 8 a gargantuan machine still located on the exact same spot where it halted operation in the 1950’s. You get a shot at gold panning with some very patient instructors than a train ride back with an upclose view of the Alaskan pipeline. The guides were very knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic about this part of Alaska’s history. Definitely a blast for kids. You are almost guaranteed to get some gold.

  • Great experience

Also got to pan for gold, which you keep. At the end of the tour we had a brief talk on the oil pipe line. Great experience.
