Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Eldon's Excursions .

  1. Calico Ghost Town is dog friendly, so you can have the dog on a leash.

  2. If you want to visit the mines, be aware that the Maggie mine is the only one safe for the public to enter.

  3. If something doesn't feel right jump out. Jump out of it as soon as you can. Have some respect for yourself.

  4. When someone says, 'Hey, be there at 4:00.' Be there at 3:45. It's all part of growing up and making changes.

  5. If you record anything on your glasses, make sure that you have the strap and do not use your phones.

  6. Buy the food pass through your home park website if you're having issues with the app.

  7. Use your season pass discount when purchasing merchandise.

  8. Visit Skomas restaurant for a date night with views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
