This my first time, as well as my son who is 9. My husband has visited, but many years ago. We all loved it and really enjoyed ourselves. The cave is spectacular, the grounds beautiful and the staff kind and knowledgeable. My son loves collecting rocks and "gems" so the panning for jewels was right up his alley. This is wonderful for a family outing. We will definitely go again!
