About this activity

Bang! Bang! Boom! Can you hear the miners picks banging against the earth as they get the dynamite ready! Broken Boot Gold Mine is a popular and adventurous underground mine tour which will take you back to those days when you could hear the booms of the miners dynamite, and the powerful punch of the pick can be heard through the tunnels below the ground.

The mining shafts are actually over 100 years old! Can you imagine what it would have been like all those years ago?

You can follow the path of the cars that would have made their way through the shafts, and walk in the footsteps of those thousands of miners who tried to make their fortune in the dark and often dangerous atmosphere!

The tours that will take you through the mines are regular, and give you experienced guides that will be there on hand to tell you all the magic and mysteries of the gold mining techniques.

Of course, the miners were all about the gold, and that can be mined or panned! You can get the whole family involved, trying to pan for gold the same way the prospectors would have done. And unlike them, you are guaranteed to strike gold! Yes - every single family member gets to go home with a "share" in the legendary mine!

Broken Boot Gold Mine actually produced about 15,000 ounces of gold for the two owners over a 26 year period, which wasn't actually a lot. BUT, there was plenty of other minerals that they found which helped their fortune! See all the fun facts that you can learn on your tour!

Deadwood will give you plenty of adventures above ground, so let Broken Boot Gold Mine give you an adventure under ground!
