Friendly people...The only bad thing is is the quick draw! My goodness it's annoying and the 20 flight of stairs we had to climb to enter and the lack of shade in the summer.

Miss Ellie

Fun place to camp and tour . Nighttime tour staff needs to learn how to deal with s hook age kids though.

Stay in the cabins - Going to visit again only in the spring or fall whenever it's cooler

Gary Papritz

Interesting park , mostly rebuilt and some new buildings. Good facilities and r.v. and camping facilities. Well worth a visit.

Chandra Perkind

Maggie's Mine, Train ride, and Dover's Slanted Shack a must see. Wear your walking shoes

Lance Widener

Had a great time. The mystery shack tour was the best

Juliet Bennett Rylah

This is not a real ghosttown. If you are looking for one of those, try Zzyzyx or cruising around Baker or Barstow. Lots of terrifying abandoned motels . If you want kitsch, go here.

Aaron Goodwin

Drink old fashioned Sarsaparilla , walk through an old silver mine, see a house made of bottles, and more.

Matt Paschke

The snack shop at the top of the town is friendly and faster than the others.

Brittany Walker

The wasps are taking over right now! If you're allergic bring an epi-pen it's a serious infestation.

Ken Camp

A fun tourist spot. The RV park or campground was an ok overnight but not something we will do again.

Extreme Road Trip

Take lots of photos and bring your kids with their cap guns.

Ethan Turkeltaub

It's a museum , really. $8 per adult .

Lydia Colaresi

There is a Diner , Fast Food and Gas. Stop and check in

eric bornemann

Place is a total run down tourist trap. You have to pay extra for everything and nothing is authentic . Keep driving - it ain’t worth it.

Nikki McFarling

Great place to go camping !

S. R.

Mine tour rocks! Get it?

Chris Shouse

Well it is OK but it is most definitely a tourist trap!

Amelia Radtke

This is nowhere near the ghost town !!

Michael Helfin

Find the arco for gas and save a dollar a gallon

Margarita Hormaza

Never full ur gas tank here a few secs later priceless and this is in the middle of nothing

Brett Fitzgerald

I didn't see any ghosts but there are a lot of zombies in the area.

Nat Morris

Don't waste your time coming here, nothing original preserved, feels like a Disney set, $7 for adults . Not worth it.

melissa young

Gas station bathrooms are nasty and stink...creepy guy behind the counter..

Steevin Love

Try th Sarsaparilla from the bottle.

Ashton Handy

It's not a ghost town ...liars.

Deniz Yigit

San frans dan las vegasa araba ile geçiyorsanız mutlaka bu kasabaya uğrayın. Giriş ücretli be 17.00 de kapanıyor. Gerçekten eskiden kalma kovboy kasabası :) tren bile koymuşlar eğlence için..

Passeio interessante, o ingresso custa 8 dólares e vale a pena. Bom lugar para tirar algumas fotos.

This was a place I always wanted to go to in the late 70’s & the early 80’s as a child. The commercials made it look so FUN. Never did it. Since then it appears to be always abandoned. - REN
