We have taken this tour every year since it opened and this year, for the first time, we were disappointed! The train ride had no people at the first site and Dexter has been around since the gold mine tour and we like him but he wasn't good enough to host the train ride! The fiddle player was better!
Ok...upfront this is a classic "tourist trap", but it is worth doing ONCE just to see the Dredge. The hands-on panning for gold was entertaining, but they do seed the buckets so everyone will find some, and then you are herded into a large gift shop (which is actually really nice and well stocked). This was part of our Cruise Tour booked through Royal Caribbean.
We really enjoyed this tour! The guides were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was informative without being boring. My only complaint is that I didn’t have enough time in the gift shop, the prices and selection were wonderful.
Better bathrooms at the beginning of the tour would be good.
Fun time panning for gold, very informative narrative and the support staff is awesome. If you want to touch the pipeline and learn about it and the gold rush. this is a must while in Fairbanks
Excellent tour guide, very sociable and accommodating staff, clean, well run, just a perfect couple of hours of learning about the pipeline and panning for gold.
Just ok. My partner dredged. I found it boring but there were other couples who were having a good time. Some nice shops inside.
Thank you for coming!
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.
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).
