Calico Ghost Town has a panning exhibit where you can learn. But, if you're looking to do the real thing, parts of Big Tujunga Canyon are good. There's a creek that empties into Big Tujunga Creek a couple of miles into the canyon, called Gold Creek or Gold Canyon. There's almost always water flowing through Big T Canyon, so you might find some placer gold.
Be aware: you might need a permit to pan. There are mineral rights laws to consider. Good luck!

Some good answers have been posted, including Knott's Berry Farm and Calico. There is a gold panning exhibit at the LA County fair in Pomona.
