MARSHALL GOLD DISCOVERY VISIT (SCHOOL)

School group Reservations:

This is a reservation for a school group to visit the park on a specific day. All school groups visiting the park must have a reservation through ReserveCalifornia. Once they have this reservation, if they are interested in booking a specific guided program, they need to contact the park directly at (530) 622-3470 or email them at Eureka.Experience48@gmail.com.

Call Center should be making reservations for schools whether or not they are signing up for a program. Many schools just come to see the park and walk around. Other schools sign up for specific programs such as Gold Panning, Pouch Making, Guided Gold Discovery, and Wagon Programs.
