Talking Rocks Attractions

• Cave Country Mini-Golf: One of the more popular above-ground attractions, Cave Country Mini-Golf will have guests follow the course all the way to the 9th hole while learning interesting facts about sinking streams, groundwater, and more. Special discounts are available with cave tours!
• Gemstone Mining: Also called “sluicing,” gemstone mining is another educational activity available at Talking Rocks Cavern. Guests can purchase a bag of “mining rough” in the gift shop then head over to the sluicing troughs where they will learn how to recognize semi-precious minerals and gems from around the world. This hunt and discovery for the earth’s treasures is a fan favorite and definitely worth a try!
• SpeleoBoxes: Venture through a maze and let the kiddos explore along the winding, twisting passages of the SpeleoBoxes! Two are available on property and are a great way to stimulate cave exploration but with wood instead of rock. A fun activity for kids of all ages!
• Family Games: Before, or after the cave tour, there are plenty more above-ground activities to partake in including outdoor family games. The games are located on the hillside of Talking Rock property and are FREE for guests to enjoy with their cave ticket purchases. Guests will find supersized games to enjoy such as Jenga, Checkers, Chess, and Connect 4 and more traditional games and activities like ring toss, a rock scaling wall, cornhole, and a bean bag toss. Talking Rocks also has their own original games for guests to try out including Pool Noodle Javelin, Battle Pong, Ping-Pong Bounce, and Rain Gutter Relay.
• Rock Gift Shop: The spacious Rock and Gift Shop is a museum in its own right as it houses hundreds of colorful rocks, fossils, minerals, and one-of-a-kind items you’re likely not to find anywhere else. Other special items to be found at the Gift Shop are: ammonite, shark teeth, orthoceras, trilobites, and the classic “Crack your own” Moroccan geode. Home Decor for sale includes agate slices, amethyst pieces, Himalayan salt lamps, and candle holders.
• Nature Trails: Located in close vicinity to Talking Rocks are four nature trails for guests to walk and explore. Each trail has its own unique feature so guests will see things like natural spring areas, unique rock formations, and an observation tower where the panoramic views are more than worth the stairs!
