Just choose what you want to hunt for from our great selection, pick up a mining box and take it over to the sluice – that’s our amazing new water feature that lets you pan for gems! Then see what you can find.

Its as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 (and 4!)

This activity is outside but entrance is via the centre.

Come in through the main doors of the centre, scan your temperature and then wash your hands.
