Crystal Cave Gold Adventure Tour and Dino Trail

Join us for an hour-long guided tour of Crystal Cave. Bring your sweater as the temperature inside the cave is a cool 59° Fahrenheit. We begin our tour through the old Springfield jail gates, about 200 feet from our giftshop and enter this naturally preserved, spectacular geological underworld. You certainly won't be disappointed in this adventure as you view many fantastic geological formations including stalagmites, stalactites, flowstone, and the rare helictites formations. Tours depart on the hour.

Everyone loves to play Putt-Putt Golf! Crystal Cave has a challenging 9-hole indoor course waiting for you and your family to enjoy. We provide the clubs, score cards and golf balls. This 9-hole mini golf course even has mischief spinners on some of the holes — adding more fun and extra challenges for you to enjoy. Fun for the entire family!

All ages will enjoy Gemstone Panning. Each pay dirt includes an identification card and keeper bag, allowing participants to identify and take home all the treasures they discover. Fun for everyone!
