Join the 
Binkley family for another adventure as you explore Alaska's richest gold mining district. The El Dorado Gold Mine has a reputation for offering a lively and fascinating tour of Alaska gold history.
The El Dorado Gold Mine is located nine miles north of Fairbanks, just past Fox, on the Elliott Highway.
The tour begins as you board a narrow gauge 
train and travel to a working Alaska gold mine where local miners demonstrate modern mining techniques. Along the way, you will see actual demonstrations and experience the Alaska gold mining history of Interior Alaska. The tour includes a stop in our permafrost tunnel to learn about historic drift mining in the area.
This tour is a "hands on" experience for the entire family to enjoy. It is informative and interactive, and part of the action includes learning to pan for Alaska gold. We even have heated panning water for your comfort.
Naturalists were full of informative and interesting info. Food was delicious, well prepared and served. Managers were very helpful. We loved it!
