The most mysterious thing about Mystery Hill is that they continue to take people's money! It might be worth going one time so that you can enjoy a good, knowing laugh while reading the reviews. more

I can't believe all the low reviews for this place! Yes, I agree it's more for kids than adults. Yes, I agree the maintenance isn't the best. However, my kids LOVED it! This is classic Americana--the kind of thing many of us grew up doing, and the kind of "corny" thing our kids will remember fondly when they grow up.... more

We've been twice to Mystery Hill. Cannot believe I got rooked into going the second time. Please save your money and go do something else like walk around Bass Lake, go to Boone Bowl, or the movies. The "anti-gravity" room is interesting to the children, I'll admit. But the rest of this place is just a run-down hodgepodge of low... more

My husband and I went on our honeymoon in Blowing Rock. While there, we wanted to check out the local attractions. I had remembered Mystery Hill when I was little and thought it would be fun to go back. I was disappointed as what was once a fond childhood memory became yet another reason why my husband shouldn't trust my... more

I'm not sure if I would label this a 'tourist trap', but it comes close. That said, the kids were entertained to no end, so that made it worth the money. more

The mystery hill part of the attraction was neat. It would have been better to have experienced it, with some physics displays showing how it "works." Something educational for the kids. Ditto the history museum next door. Potential, but I left feeling let down. It was grossly overpriced and not at all worth it. This was the 2nd time in... more

I saw a review for this place in a local advertisement & on the internet. It was touting about all of this weird stuff that happens there and that it is outstanding fun for the whole family. Well, I was really let down. In the magic room where you can stand in a bubble was basically a giant blow buble... more

This is a great place to visit! I have been many times times, ever since I was a kid, and now I bring my children. The experiments are all very interesting and and museum next door is amazing. The owners are also very friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone that visits the Blowing Rock area! more

The reptile farms in FL could learn something about parting tourists and their money from these folks. The building is run-down and in need of a serious remodeling. The "illusions" were simplistic and in many cases so poorly maintained (the room with the bubble solution) that they didn't even work. Save your money, take the family to any of the... more
