Experience the thrill of the B.C. Gold Rush as you pan for gold, play gold-themed games, listen to period music, and make your own souvenir craft.
Catch gold fever during a day rich in historical adventure, inspired by the exhibition Gold Rush! – El Dorado in British Columbia. Relive the thrill of the Fraser River Gold Rush by pretending to be a prospector at our gold-panning station on the Museum Plaza. Hit the motherlode, or get into trouble by “going up a flume” in a gold-mining version of Snakes and Ladders. Tune in to live performances of 19th-century music celebrating the frontier spirit, and stake your claim to a customized Gold Rush button you make and take home.
