Panning For Gold at
Thunder Creek is Great Fun!
Only 20 minutes from Mystic, CT!
Relive the California Gold Rush in Thunder Creek! Here you will learn the fun technique of panning and pan for “fools gold” nuggets in our indoor gold sluice. Equipped with an apron, gold pan, and a helpful staff member to teach the technique, you are off to find as much treasure as you can! Have fun separating out the shiny pyrite from the creek and watch the riches accumulate as you continue panning. Carry your riches home in a souvenir prospector’s pouch. Yes, you can keep everything you find!
And for the super adventurous fun seekers, choose the Thunder Creek Deluxe Package which includes a souvenir gold pan for you to keep and take home and use in real streams. The Deluxe Package also includes your own extra-large “gold nugget” and additional panning time!
