Crystal Cave Mineral Exhibit & Crystal Shop - South River, Ontario

The Faerie Forest was so cute! The mineral and fossil exhibit was very interesting, we spent a lot of time looking around in there. The staff for the exhibit are very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop is beautiful and full of esoteric goodies. There was also a small market set up beside the shop with local handmade products. Great place to visit!

Such a cute place! Lots of stuff for kids to interact with. Perfect place to shop for things for your fairy garden! A nice museum that costs $5, but tons to see for free. Worth stopping at if you're in the area!

I’ve been directing people to the Crystal Cave for the past five years—but had never visited myself until today! With the rain coming down and only a 33-minute drive from my place, I finally made the trip—and I’m so glad I did.

Angus gave me a personal tour, and wow—this guy is passionate! His love for dinosaurs and the space is contagious, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. I also picked up some beautifully crafted soap from one of the local vendors and stopped by the Tarot card reader. Collette had such a warm, grounded energy—I left with a really good vibe.

All in all, this is a must-visit spot if you're in the region. I’m already looking forward to going back.

Just amazing. We stopped in here to check things out while camping at Mikisew, so glad we did. We were lucky enough to meet the owners of the collection. They were both amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The gift shop was also great, we got a few really cool pieces for great prices. They also had the Faerie Forest, it was extremely cute and put smiles on all of our faces.

I really love this place, and all that it's doing! It's a really beautiful exhibit and storefront. However, they've taken to putting up AI art, and even selling some of it in their sticker collection, and I think it hurts the overall feel of it. Still definitely worth a visit, but buyer beware if you're getting any art there.

This was a walk in with a lovely host greeting us and explaining our options. The guide on the fossil side $5 entry fee was fantastic and knowledgeable. Highly reccomend to get the guided tour!
The very big shopping store was loaded with options and some very cool stones, fossils and gems! Great experience, thank you will go again!!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the museum and gift shop. The staff and owners were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and great with our children who asked hundreds of questions. Definitely would recommend stopping in if you get a chance.

The mineral exhibit was amazing! Well worth the $5 admission. We had tour guide Angus. Such a font of knowledge!
The fairy houses are super fun. There is always something groovy to find in the store. The staff are delightful. If you're near South River, it's a MUST to check out 🙂
