My fiance and I stopped there and we loved it. The caves were amazing, the grounds were beautiful, and the little knick-knacks you can get are pretty cool! We did a couple bags of sand that had gems/fossils and then got a geode and cracked there to see what was inside! Have already recommended people to go and we were just there yesterday! Great experience!
