Goldfield Ghost Town

A fun wild-west day out in an old mining town—shops, mine tours, gold panning, and a narrow gauge train.

About

Goldfield Ghost Town is a historic spot where you can walk down Main Street, explore the shops and historic buildings, tour the Mammoth Gold Mine, pan for gold, and ride Arizona’s only narrow gauge train. The site also mentions an old west gun fight performed by the Goldfield Gunfighters.

The page notes the town was originally active back in the 1890s and later saw renewed activity from 1910 on and off until 1926, and that visitors from around the world still come today.

On-site seasonal offerings include merchants, a coffee shop, and a saloon, plus a Field Trips program (through May) that the page says requires booking by phone.

Why stop: Great if you want a full, hands-on old west experience—shops, mine history, gold panning, and a train ride.

Good to know: The page says no professional photography is allowed in the ghost town without consent of the management. Saloon hours vary in summer (call for details).

Hours: Merchants: 10am–5pm; Coffee Shop: 9am–4:30pm; Saloon: Open daily (summer hours vary—please call); Train & Mine Tour: 10am–5pm, 7 days a week.
