Atherton Attractions: What to do & Places to Visit in Atherton
"Atherton's Crystal Caves were great! Our three children love crystals and to be wandering around in the dark with miners hats on, looking at and touching crystals was a fun, adventurous do-it-yourself discovery tour! They were encouraged to touch everything (definitely not your average museum) and..." to explore and spend as much time as they wanted. We must have retraced our steps 3-4 times to have another look at something. Everything was labelled clearly so it was easy to learn what was what. The giant amythest geode was stupendous! The staff were very generous with their time and patience with the kids' questions. Definitely worth a visit if you have time!

"Wow!!! What a fantastic place to visit!
As a mum of a (very active) 3yr old boy and step mum to a (tough to impress) 14yr old, it's always incredibly hard to find places to visit that both enjoy.
This was a great experience. As another reviewer said, the kids were encouraged to touch everything ..."in the Caves allowing a complete sensory experience.
The quality of the crystals and specimens are world class. My husband and I were quite taken back at the opportunity to view some amazing specimens. Certainly not what you would expect, hidden on the Atherton Tablelands.
Cracking the geode was the icing on the cake for both the kids and us. To watch their faces light up when they discovered what was inside was delightful.
The staff were great, very friendly and eager to ensure we had a great adventure.

"After donning your hard hat, you proceed down into the caves....An alladin's cave of crystals and geological oddities, all with an easy main street shop front!
An amazing collection, a great concept, in a location that truly needs the tourist dollars...WELL DONE to the creators.
Worth the drive,..." worth the time...go and have a look! The massive crystal is a thing of beauty, and awe.
