Booked the underground tour through here which also includes museum admission. Headsets through the tour made it easier to hear the guide wherever you were standing. Guide was thorough and informative. Appreciated the museums inclusion of native Americans and the exhibits. The gold mining section was well designed. Staff was friendly. Small gift ship with old time games and a variety of souvenirs. Worth stopping in

A bit pricey at 10 bucks to get in , however, you can leave and come back sane day. Lots to read! Expect to stay a minimum of 1.5 to read thoroughly through everything. Plenty of speaking boxes to listen to the history. Amazing place and very well designed floor plan.

Great museum showcasing the history of California and Sacramento. Admission is 50% off the regular $10 Monday - Thursday. Many interactive displays. There is also a collection of books and manuscripts dating from as early as the 16th century.

We came here for our second time to do the Choose Your Own Gold Rush Tour which was very fun. We got here as the tour was starting due to heavy traffic so we missed being able to walk around the museum on our own. The museum staff were kind enough to honor our tickets the next day. We did gold panning while on the tour and the day after we checked out the gift shop. They had made a small exhibit change since we had last been here which is to be expected with a museum. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing the wall of things people collect.
