Crystal Cave

Crystal Cave Mineral, Crystal and Fossil Exhibit Crystal Shoppe Gallery Learning Centre Artisan Village

Reviewed By RandJtrips

Two of us on our day off from work stopped by on a Friday after taking the old convertible out for a autumn drive. Jane gave us a tour of her favourite rock and fossil specimens after we had looked around for about an hour on our own. What a collection! You can really sense the passion behind this place, from the thoughtful groupings or minerals by type or colour or interest, to the ‘augmented reality’ add-ones, and the whimsical gift shop/art space. Am going to recommend this to a few people who want to take a drive out by south river. Will have to stop in again once the newer projects begin to be realized fully - was given a taste of some fluorescent mineral exhibits that they were working on, and boy did I ever feel transported back to my 5th grade self on a school trip,to,science north! I was really impressed. And they only ask a 5 dollar donation to enter - what a deal, we left our gift shop change in addition to the entry fee because it was really just that cool.

Jean MacLeod Butterfly Gallery, and four floors of interactive science experiences.

This was well worth the drive out from the Soo. The museum is interactive and fun for the whole family. This place topped our list of favourite science museums. Many of the exhibits are easy for younger kids to operate themselves. Our kids are 7,10 and 12. Perfect ages as they can read instructions and explore the displays themselves and so could we. The various levels space out people on the various floors and there was only one activity in the whole place that we could not get to because it was busy. Otherwise we saw everything! We arrived at 11 and left at 6pm! Got the day pass that included planetarium and Imax...well worth it and it gives you a few mintues to relax . It is a busy funfilled day. The blue coats are engaging and encourage the kids to participate, knowledagble and help to create a fun buzz.The Energy and flying squirrels demos were fantastic! Keep a look out for the beaver, porcurine and snapping turtle (especially when the blue coats take them outside)
