One of the fun things to do for the family or the person in Victoria on business staying at the Days Inn, is to visit Mineral World Scratch Patch. This is one of the outdoor adventures that can be found in Victoria that will allow the visitor to pan for gold in an 1800 square foot garden by the sea. There are two gold panning pools at the Scratch Patch.
There is also the pond that is filled with tropical shells and with semi precious gemstones, that visitors can find approximately 80 different varieties of gemstones like amethyst, tigereyes, fire agates, aquamarine, malachite, tourmaline and jasper.
This is one of the ways to spend a day in the fresh air and with the smell of the sea while panning for gold or gemstones in Victoria’s Scratch Patch. There is no entrance fee to the Scratch Patch, but to collect gemstones a collectors bag must be purchased, the exciting part about this feature is while the bags, are a small fee whatever gemstones the visitors can fit in their bags they are able to keep.
Panning for gold has never been easier or more fun with the two pools where the sparkle of pyrite can be found and gold nuggets. Unlike the people that have panned for gold in the past, there is no danger of losing a claim or even being faced with the cold of glacier waters and grizzle bears.
Days Inn Victoria guests will find this a fun way to spend the day and one that can allow them to return to their suite with gems and gold, even for the first time gold mining adventurer. This can be an all day adventure or one that is for a few hours between other attractions the Victoria visitor wants to visit. |
