The kids and I loved this place. We only mined for gems, but know there is so much more! The staff were all patient, courteous and hilarious. The geode cracking machine was really cool, too! I'd go back just to play with that & crank open some geodes! The statues got me-but it added to the entire experience positively. The kids love making fun of me being afraid of overly sized dolls 😂 See pics!

Had a blast with the family. We had so much fun we had to do it again. We got a bunch of gems and a few geodes, too. Service was top notch. If we ever go back, we'll definitely come and do it again

We did the $35 gem bucket. We expected to find a couple of stones, but there were actually a ton of them. It was definitely worth the money for the experience and the gems for souvenirs. They also have a gift shop with really interesting things made of gemstones.

This review is based off of the quality of the mining bucket- not the shop itself or customer service there, which was great (which is why it’s 2 stars instead of 1) but we purchased the “motherlode” bucket, at $60. As someone with crystal knowledge this was quite sad for what was advertised being in the bucket/ cost vs quantity and quality of what was actually in the bucket. You are definitely only paying for the experience of “mining” the crystals. If you are there for just the fun then I suggest only buying a smaller bucket.
