Great time digging in the dirt - We had a great time sitting through the dirt and finding gems and precious stones. It’s a fun event to laugh and be with each other. Thank you so much. The store is a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Great Family Activity! - Love coming here with the family! Always a great time and so much to do. We got the prospector bucket, explored the gift shop, and fed the goats. Finished off playing on the jungle gym!

Being a miner - Love the experience of being a miner with the feels of being in the past next to a river working hard. Being in the old ages really something I would be our kids too

In complete awe! - We’re having such a great time here!! What a quaint little place tucked in NC. It’s so exciting to have an experience together to share with my daughter and travel partner. We love to share new journeys and discoveries; this is just one of the many. Gem sifting and being surrounded by so many beautiful gems has been something I’ve wanted to do for so long! This is my first time and it’s a pleasure to have it be here! Feeding the fish was a bonus! The trip from Florida was so worth being surrounded by such great energy, beautiful pieces, and yummy tacos! (There’s a taco available too!) Totally worth the trip.

Very fun afternoon - The mining was amazing, both my boys got lots of really pretty stones! They also loved the animals and stream to play in! They also really enjoyed seeing all the metal dinosaur sculptures
