Worth Every Single Penny. Employees were awesome !!!! - Nice place for a day trip. Worth every single penny. Employees here were professional, courageous and ready to help. Felt welcomed the moment we walked in the place.
The lady at the jewelry counter was a very nice and patient.
Place was very well maintained/stocked. Restrooms were clean and accessible.
Mining area was shaded and had plenty of space for large groups.
There is a bar inside with chairs to take a break.
If you have time I would recommend a 30 minute drive to scenic falls (Looking Glass Falls) . You can park on side of the road and get some really good pictures.
