Crystal Cave

Crystal Cave Mineral, Crystal and Fossil Exhibit Crystal Shoppe Gallery Learning Centre Artisan Village

Reviewed By RandJtrips

Two of us on our day off from work stopped by on a Friday after taking the old convertible out for a autumn drive. Jane gave us a tour of her favourite rock and fossil specimens after we had looked around for about an hour on our own. What a collection! You can really sense the passion behind this place, from the thoughtful groupings or minerals by type or colour or interest, to the ‘augmented reality’ add-ones, and the whimsical gift shop/art space. Am going to recommend this to a few people who want to take a drive out by south river. Will have to stop in again once the newer projects begin to be realized fully - was given a taste of some fluorescent mineral exhibits that they were working on, and boy did I ever feel transported back to my 5th grade self on a school trip,to,science north! I was really impressed. And they only ask a 5 dollar donation to enter - what a deal, we left our gift shop change in addition to the entry fee because it was really just that cool.

Algonquin Logging Museum

Reviewed By pencefn - Newton Mearns, United Kingdom

Travelling on Highway 60, we stopped to visit the Algonquin Logging Museum. What a great place to visit. Starting with a video presentation which end with the screen rising and the trail outside in front of us. Walking round the trail the story of logging in the park is told with information boards and displays. There are many photo opportunities. In this case we selected around 70 for our on-line gallery, of which 6 have been selected to share on facebook. It was a dry warm overcast day when we visited. The trail took us around an hour to walk around the trail, which whilst is step free, undulates with several gradients.
