My family and I came in October for our second time to the Royal Peacock mine. Julie and Craig go above and beyond to make your experience be unforgettable. From the gift shop and facilities to their knowledge and helpfulness! Every person in our group found great rocks! My husband found several limb casts and fossilized wood pieces. My 7 year old son found 1 limb cast about 4x2 and 158 grams. We have Often thought of going to other places to look for rocks but the Experience you get from The Peacock is second to none and keeps bringing us back. We love and appreciate that the Royal encourages families and kids to join in on the fun. If you go to the Royal Peacock mine you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Peacock Mine at the end of June. We had an amazing time. Our rock hound guide (Craig) was very cool. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. The people who run the store were very hospitable. Thanks you for everything, we will be coming back.

We got there noontime the day before opening a real nice weather. Next day we got up to cooler temperature. By noontime it started to rain off and on. Then at 2 pm it got to wet and cold to stay any Longer. On the way to truck in heavy mud I over hear a man said he had a flat tire to one of peacock personal. At when I said you got a flat? Well the other guess then look at me in the heavy rain and said YES. At when I told him I have built in compressor. So we got fix and we want back to camp soak to the bone and muddy. We left the 17th in morning to Laughlin, NV. We had a Great time . We are planning to come back in Sept.

My wife saw a program on TV about someplace in the middle of nowhere called the Royal Peacock Opal Mine, her Birthstone is Opal and I have listened to her go on about this place for a few years now and how she really wanted to go there. So finally I took her to visit the Royal Peacock on June 9th & 10th 2019. We had a great time there made some new friends, dug in the tailings, found a few small Opals. The campgrounds are very nice and quite, bathrooms were very clean and looked like new. I walked in and Julie greeted me by name even though we had never met and each time we saw her she did the same, she really makes you feel welcome. Checking in and checking out was so very easy. Julie you made our 2 days there so enjoyable, thank you so much. We will be back. At the Mine site Craig was onsite to answer any questions we had and was always quick to assist if we need any help, he truly enjoys what he is doing there. If you are reading this and have the smallest inkling about going to the Royal Peacock then I say YES you should go and have a fun and educational time.

2 Friends & I came up the the Royal Peacock in mid July 2017 & we were the only ones there for 3 days doing any mining! We mined in the Tailings with Pui Had a totally awesome time & came away with some beauties in opals & even found Petrified Wood in our own explorings! I had so much fun, I'm returning in October this year with my daughter who has no idea where I'm taking her!!! Her birthstone is the Opal & it'll be an amazing way to celebrate her birthday with her!!! Going to make this a yearly tradition with my other 2 friends
