Kids will enjoy visiting those old sites that they thought to be fictituous but that in Virginia City are real.

Virginia City Convention and Tourism Authority organizes tours that take the traveler to the city's most famous spots of its golden age and to the historic Comstock mining region that created that bonanza. The visitor will know the town's historical sites including Virginia and Truckee Railroad Freight Depot, Molinelly Building, Grandma's Fudge Factory, Sawdust Corner Saloon, Territorial Enterprise Building, Red Garter Saloon, Crystal Bar, the Firehouse Museum among other sites. The tour in town can be done on foot or by trolley; the tour to the mines is by steam train departing the Depot at Washington and F Streets. (trolleys run year round, trains only between May and October) 

Mines can also be accesed by foot: Chollar Mine is very near downtown and Ponderosa Salon Mine Tour literally takes under town.

The cemetery is another popular site around. Located at the end of North E Street, Silver Terrace Cementery is an impressive lot of graveyards on a hillside where mine workers were buried following the most varied religious ceremonies, from Catholic to Masons. The cemetery reflects the diversity of the places of origin of the workers, few markers have Nevada printed as their place of birth.

There are also tours to the haunted hospital and they sound fun as visitors walk the site at night with lanterns.
