Pine Mountain Gold Museum

The Haunted Train was absolutely awesome!!!! The whole experience itself was entertaining and well put together. The train seats are tight, I'm 6"4 and was "snug," but the attraction helps you to forget the space. Highly recommended!!!

Just need a day out? Just need new scenery?
I would recommend Pine Mountain Gold Museum. They host a few events as well that they share on their Facebook page, so keep an eye out for those!

We went out when they had the animal encounter. They had goats, cows, a camel and a tortoise. The feed was $3 if you wanted to feed the animals. They also had an ice cream vendor truck there, which was nice!

Go into the museum to purchase a receipt for all the activities you want to do:
We also went gemstone panning and took a ride on the train! The kids loved the gemstone panning; it was fun to see them excited about what their crate held! They also loved the train ride; super quick & went right around the property.

Beautiful place with different activities to do throughout.

Note: They do have a museum as well, but I do not feel like my kids are at the age that we could have done that yet without getting restless.

It was a Wednesday mid-morning and we were the only visitors. The museum and trails are really nice, and the staff were kind and attentive. It was incredibly informative and would make for a great school field trip site. We did gem mining (for my 2 yr old) and gold mining (for the adults), and both were fun. The staff is very knowledgeable and make great recommendations.

The ride is great for kids. Was enjoyable but short, a little less than 15 minutes. However, you were let off the train far from the parking lot in a totally unlit area. There is no excuse to not let the trim disembark in the middle of the parking lot. There were no benches to wait for pickup after disembarking. Except for getting off the train, the experience was pleasant.

I took my aunt here who just moved to Villa Rica. I was trying to show her around her new city but actually ended up learning some Villa Rica history. Thanks Pine Mountain Gold Museum we enjoyed your movie.
