Fact finders and those interested in the history of crystals and minerals can immerse themselves in the custom-built gallery and museum.
However, Crystal Mountain is more than just an educational experience. It’s also the kind of place that you can happily take the whole family to visit.
For the kiddies, the miniature farm’s animals and four-in-one bungee trampoline are a constant source of entertainment; and for the adults who want to indulge in a spot of retail therapy, the site’s shop offers a dazzling array of rock and mineral goodies.
Crystal Mountain’s motto is to make learning fun and they manage to do this via activities such as ‘panning for crystals’—where children can learn about the traditional method of panning; a pursuit that’s always a hit for kids of all ages.
Food is another specialty at Crystal Mountain. Café on The Rock has a menu full of gastronomic delights, including authentically prepared Brazilian fare prepared by their very own Brazilian chef.
Crystal Mountain will educate and entertain in equal measures—and provide a great day out for all the family.
