Birthday Parties

 
Our party package is $300 for 90 minutes of party time. A $150 non refundable deposit is due at the time of booking and the remainder is due the day of the party. The party package will include 10 panners, each panner will get their own bucket with a mix of gemstones, fossils and arrowheads. Each additional child after the first 10 will be an extra $13 per child.

You may arrive 15 minutes early to set up and have 10 minutes after to clean up; after the allotted 10 minutes you will be charged the additional $75 fee if still seated in the designated party area.

Why pick our place for parties?? We offer so much more than just gem panning! While here, kids can enjoy the ninja course playground, visit with the goats, explore our man made mineral caves, and even search the ground for even more treasures!!

​​Important Notes:
- Guests will be asked to fill out a safety waiver upon arrival. There is no admission fee for guests, unless they stay over the party time, in which case they would have to pay $8 admission to continue playing after the party.
- You will have your choice of private party space, one is heated and enclosed and the other is outside, both spaces have picnic tables.
- Bring any kind of food and drink you would like, we have no restrictions.
- Decorate as much or as little as you would like, but all balloons must be weighted down.
- Each panner will get a birthday bucket which includes rough gemstones, fossils, and even tumbled stones and arrowheads sometimes.
- We help the children with panning and identifying their treasures throughout the experience. Our staff are very knowledgeable and are here to help teach others about the wonders of geology.
