The Lilly Pad Village

Nikki made our experience so amazing — WOW! We found so many gems - u okie ones, big ones, beautiful ones. Fishing was fun, baited fish with hot dogs! Must visit with your young family. ❤️

Our kiddos (3 and 11 years old) both loved their afternoon at the Lily Pad Village! Like many others have said in their reviews, the staff there are extraordinarily kind and thoughtful. We went fishing and gem mining. We didn’t have time to do mini golf, but the kids still had a blast. The gems you get are really generous and high quality, and the staff goes way out of their way to make the kids happy. The owner overheard our oldest say he was hoping to find a ruby, and he slipped one in! Fish weren’t biting when we went, but we were forewarned they probably wouldn’t because it’s too early. Still it was a lot of fun to watch them try! We would absolutely come back next time we’re in the area — time really well spent and made even better by the kind people who work there!

We had an incredible time at Lily Pad village. We were visiting Blue Ridge over Fall break with our 2 and 5 year old sons. We did gem mining, mini golf and fishing. It was the perfect activity for our crew. Nikki was full of enthusiasm and good vibes at super helpful at the gem mining. We got some really cool stones too. The owner was there and so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this for an activity with the kids. The 9 whole mini golf was shaded and a lot of fun. Fishing was super easy and although we didn’t catch a fish, they were definitely biting that day. The boys loved it, all around it was the perfect adventure.

Such a cute location, our son loved the mini golf and gem mining! We didn’t catch any fish but we had fun trying! The owner was warm and welcoming and Nickie was a riot! Thanks for a great morning!

Highly recommend. Beautiful place ran by some of the most kind people in all of Georgia. They were very accommodating and had plenty to do for our large family of kids! The get mining was the best!
