went here recently with a small group of friends and absolutely loved it. i remember coming here on a field trip when i was little and it was just as good as the last time! i wanted to stop and stare at everything but i couldn’t even get thru the whole building with the amount of time we were there. jam-packed with the coolest rocks, minerals, and fossils in the valley!

My family which on this particular day, included not only my hubby, but his father, my step daughter and our 2 grandsons. We all had fun enjoying the different colorful rocks. And we could not believe how many rocks they had on display. It seemed to go on and on. We also loved the gift store. So 5 stars all the way!

We had so much fun here! The workers are super kind and helpful. The museum is huge and there is so much to see. We had a very large group but it wasn’t a problem. We also bought a bucket to gather rocks and we had some people do sluicing and it was so much fun. Everyone went home with something they were excited about! Definitely recommend!!

A gem of a rock museum filled with gems! Take time to look at the rocks under ultra violet light, so interesting! The staff was super friendly and helpful. There were a lot of meteorites.
