My mother and I visited and had a fabulous time. Daniel bent over backwards to make sure she was comfortable and had a place to sit. Then he helped us get out on the highway by stopping traffic- talk about above and beyond customer service! Thanks for making a fun and memorable visit! Loved it!!!

The staff was so friendly and helpful. Daniel is the best! We are likely to come in and mine two days in a row - my 3 year old son LOVED it!

We all had a fun time at. Foggy Mountain was by far the most informative about what we found! We found a variety of gems and we liked how everything was separated to show us what we had. They even had cut and polished stones to sit beside ours, so we would know what ours could look like. Everyone there was helpful and made it a fun experience as well! We’ll definitely be back!

We have stopped here 3 times over the past 2 years and this time our take from the 5 gallon bucket was about a quarter of what the other mines give you and also tiny stones. Maybe since they just remodeled they have to cut back on the gems.

Our family had such a good time here! I was skeptical at first and thought it was a tourist trap, but I was super impressed with the service and the quality of gems! Definitely worth going to!

I have been to 3 other places just to see how they are and I always return to Foggy Mountain and the quality of the items I have gotten there has be great. I have recommended this place to a lot of my friends and they enjoyed it also. I go every year sometimes twice a year.
