Crystal Cave
A friend of mine who lives in the area took us to see Crystal Cave. We have awesomely big caverns near us back home, but were thoroughly charmed by this cave. The smaller scale of it allows you to get closer to the interesting sights inside.
[Kyr-Roger St-Denis, 08/08/2015]A really excellent little cave. The tour is about an hour long, and the guides seem to really love their jobs. They're very entertaining! Be sure to take a jacket, as this is one of the colder caves we've been in!
[Steve, 08/16/2013]Cave found by local boy will leave visitors in awe. Guided tours highlight the formations, passageways, and wonders of the world below.
