About this experience

Gold prospectors have been searching for gold in Lapland for 150 years and in Tankavaara Gold Village, we still continue this unique culture by teaching the secrets of gold panning to visitors every summer. We even borrow you all the equipment needed and you can keep all the gold you find!

Gold & Culture day is suitable for groups, families and individual visitors. Gold & Culture day includes:

– Guided 1 hour gold panning outdoors, guests can keep all the gold they find & we lend the equipment

– Entrance to the Goldmuseum to learn about gold prospecting in Finland and around the world

– 3 course lunch in restaurant Old Gold Prospector
