Robot Gold Miners, Majestic Urinal

We didn't see any urinal, let alone a "majestic urinal," however the robotic miners were fun. Also, the gift shop is excellent and has every novelty soda/pop ever.

Robot Gold Miners, Majestic Urinal

The date shakes alone are worth the stop. A large selection of hot sauces, unique sodas, chocolates, jerky, and loads of nostalgic candy.

This is no longer there, looks like a burned building.

Cute! Right off the freeway, worth a stop for the kids.

As of 1/6/2020, they do not move.

Maybe a robot repair team will pass through in the Spring. In early 2019, the taped messages still played, and the main gold panning miner moved his lower jaw.
