The show is a slightly scary but life-affirming story about the important relationships between young and old. The special-effect smoke is quite impressive in this award-winning attraction. Twenty-minute shows play throughout the day;  check your entertainment guide for times. Young children may be frightened by some effects.

Original antiques (circa 1875) outfit this full-scale, one-room school replica. Everything is authentic including blackboards, desks, books, and even the potbelly stove. You may even have the chance to sit in on a lesson. Short waits.

You just might strike it rich when you pan for gold here, under the direction of the friendly Knott's Gold Prospectors. Cost is $10, but you'll get to keep your gold in a little glass vial.
