We took our 3 year old daughter here yesterday and she loved it! We got the smallest bucket and it lasted her about an hour. We found a good amount of gems at a decent size and are having some made into a ring (will post an update when I receive it in 4-6 weeks). All the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful and we never felt rushed or pressured to buy anything. We will be back!

Such a wonderful time!! My 3 kids ( 11, 11, 15) LOVED it- and walked away with some amazing finds. They split the middle sized 5lb bucket. The employees were so nice and helpful and were genuinely excited to help us. We got several semiprecious and mineral finds cut and polished, and had 2 precious stones put into a ring for my mom.

Really enjoyed our family Memorial Day Weekend trip to Foggy Mountain Gem Mine. Staff was very friendly (particularly to be working a holiday weekend!) and we found a nice mix of gems and stones. Kaleigh was super informative and knowledgeable in telling us about what we had found, indulging our (well, mostly my) many questions. Although we ended up purchasing a couple pieces of jewelry, I didn’t feel any pressure to do so. We have tried out several gem mines in western NC, and I can say I definitely recommend this one!

Foggy Mountain Gem Mine is a wonder family adventure for those who enjoy mining rocks and gems. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. We got a 5 gallon bucket of rocks for a reasonable price and spent over 2 hours working through them. This is a definite visit for anyone interesting in some fun.

We were on vacation and came in with a party of 12, including 6 small children. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. We got the wheel barrel, and all left with a ton of stuff. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

My family came from out of state to visit me in Boone and this was the #1 requested activity during their visit. We had a great time and found some wonderful gems. I went back several weeks later and had some gems made into jewelry for gifts for those who mined the gems with me. Would highly recommend this!

This was a great family experience. My 13 yo and 7 yo loved it. The staff were amazing. After we finished mining our gems the staff went over everything we found. They took time to explain all the different gems to us. If you are looking for a fun family activity stop by Foggy Mountain Gem Mine.

We love going to Foggy Mountain Gem Mine. The staff is always super friendly, knowledgable, and go the extra mile to make your experience the best possible. We have had many gems cut here and a few jewelry pieces made ( with many more planned!) There is nothing better than having a custom piece of jewelry that is not only beautiful and unique, but one that has such fun memories attached.
