THE UNDERGROUND EXPERIENCE

Guided Gold Mine Tour

The package includes a guided gold mine tour—an interpretive underground stop that forms the backbone of the celebration and introduces guests to the site’s mining history and workings.

HANDS‑ON TREASURE

Gold Panning and Emerald Strike

Guests get a chance to pan for gold (scheduled at roughly a half hour) and to try Emerald Strike gemstone mining, offering tactile, reward‑driven activities that are the package’s hands‑on draws.

THE PARTY SETUP

Staffed Party Area and Shooting Gallery

A dedicated staff member helps with setup and cleanup and remains available during the party; the package also includes one round (100 BBs) at the Shooting Gallery and use of a designated indoor or outdoor party area.

What the day feels like

What the three hours feel like

The Silver Birthday Package is a deliberately sequenced three‑hour event: begin with the guided mine tour (approximately 45 minutes), move into a half‑hour gold panning session, visit Emerald Strike for gemstone mining, and take one round at the Shooting Gallery—while a dedicated staff member handles party setup, supports activities, and manages cleanup.
