What User doesn't like about Ponderosa Saloon:
Underground mine Tours ,It was. OKEY , but not worth $12 !!!Big groups, and such narrow tunnel and super small displays !!! If you are one of the last people of the line you won’t be able to listen or to see what the guide is explaining about it! So make sure you get the middle part of the line ! Lol View all feedback.
