Best Gold Mining Company Cary Near Me

Marom Lior: Great place for birthdays, or just spending a fun morning with kids.We live so close, and I can't count how many times we passed this place and didn't know it existed...We had a birthday party there. Kids had a blast just exploring all the fun areas (caves, goat petting, swings, and more), followed by the main activity which was mining rocks. You can add special gems for extra $, then relax in a shaded area for some food.We actually stayed after the birthday was over and played outdoors.A few things to notice:- it was warm, so if you are booking a bday, do it in the 1st shift (10:30am)- make sure if there is another event. We were rushed to finish by the employees, but there was no event there. We could actually pay a little extra and won't be in a rush to leaveBottom line: we will be back. It was super-fun :)

Laura C: If I lived here I’d be there every weekend.

Brittany L.: Great place to take your kids for an afternoon out of the house. We got the Jackpot Bucket and it was HUGE. We got two gallon ziploc sized bags of precious gems, fossils, shells, etc. My son loved all the other little playgrounds to play on because he would get tired of sifting through the bucket and want to take a break. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the finds we had too.

Jakob Micheelsen: Another great day at Blue Diamond.Went together with my mother. We found so many stones in high quality. Way better than expected.The staff is friendly, helpfull and they know a lot about all the stones

Carla Solowiei: This place is great and the staff was absolutely amazing! We traveled to North Carolina for spring break and despite it being cold and rainy we had a good time. We were outside under the covered sluice due to multiple parties going on but the owner was so accommodating. She brought out outdoor patio heaters for us and even sat on the floor in the gift shop playing gemstone bingo with our 8 year old daughter. Wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed more of the things they have to offer. The prices of the buckets were very reasonable and the little one even found a megalodon tooth in her bucket. So glad we decided to stop here on the way home. We would travel the 3 and a half hours just to come here!

Tim McKenzie: So... If you're tired of bounce house birthdays and you're looking for something fun, give these folks a shot! Our daughter absolutely loves pretty rocks and mentioned wanting to do a rock/gem birthday. A quick Google search later and we found out Blue Diamond was just a few minutes down the road. The best part was despite being 40 degrees out and raining, we had a nice warm covered area to go through the buckets and enjoy some cake afterwards. Everyone had a wonderful time and more than a few parents thanked us for switching it up a bit.

R. Chris Owen: Great place to go hang out and get some gems.

Kyle Parker: My family was in town for spring break and the Blue Diamond appeared in our list of great places to take kids. It did not disappoint! The kids had a great time panning for and learning about the items hidden in their buckets. Even better, Rachel - the manager - was an excellent host and teacher. She eagerly answered all the many questions our kids had about what they discovered and provided the personal attention you don't often find. If we were in the area again, we would definitely pay a return visit to Blue Diamond!

Justine Smith Schumacher: We love this place and the family that runs it! We love finding giant shark’s teeth and the fireplace in the cold season! Such a cute place to have here in Cary. Perfect for a great birthday party or special gifts that sparkle and shine!

Caroline: Horrible customer service. So so rude. Wld NOT recommend. Not accomodating to kids.. at all

Todd Starr: Grandkids had a great time finding fossils, gemstones, and playing in the playground. Knowledgeable staff helped identify gems.

John Smith: Much fun with my 6 year old. Interesting and educational. Wonderful staff.

Florian Emmerich: Great place for about 1 hour of fun. Paid 40 USD plus tax for the entire family and we had 3 bags of stuff to pan. Kids 10, 8 and 3 loved it!

Sandra Smith: The people there are so sweet and greet us with a smile everytime. I have to say my favorite place to go.

Pam B.: Fantastic little place. Indoor and outdoor panning available. Small store with lots of cool items. Make this a stop if your in the area. We look forward to visiting again

Andi Huett: It was a fantastic place for a 6 year old birthday party. Everyone was super hospitable and helpful. The birthday boy and all his guests had a fun time and LOVED being able to take home what they found!

Owen Kusakabe: Had a great time here for my birthday. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you’re out this way. Totally worth it if you are a rock hound that likes minerals and gems. Though if you usually find minerals through actual dirt this might not be for you since it’s more panning for them through bags of dirt

Elizabeth Bunting: Went for a birthday party. Really fun and different from the usual kid's party.

Christal Amos: Staff makes the experience easy for parents and an amazing adventure for the kids! I saw more than a few adults really getting into it themselves.Staff comes around to tell you about the stones in your sifter. They also have a playground with swings, ropes course, and rock climbing at safe heights around the trees. This was a great choice for our family trip!!

James Bersheim: Amazing service, reasonable prices, nicely set up. We got there during a tropical storm so there weren't many people there besides us and the person that worked there. She was very attentive and answered all of our questions. This place is definitely worth your time and money. It's a good outing with your kids in any weather and any temperature.
