A couple games weren't working right in the arcade, but everything else was fantastic. I'm so glad…read morewe came. The kids had a blast jumping and playing a few games. We tried the laser maze and at first had some trouble, but we pushed the call button and an employee was over to help us quickly. He was very nice and reset the game for us, it worked fine after that. Since we'd never tried this before, we went for medium, that was way too easy for us. If we tried again, I'd set it at expert for the adults. Need a bit of a challenge. My favorite thing was the go karts. They went so fast and we were going around the track for a bit which was nice. Seriously, I've never been on go karts this fast. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. And everywhere was clean, including the bathrooms. Aside from the couple games not working right (blue games that are included in the play or combo pass), I think everything was up and running. I loved that they had a spot for parents to chill too, there's lots of places to sit too. Really cool place with something for everyone.

I started seeing the billboards around town and looked up more about Crystal Cave. We decided to…read moremake a visit and were pleasantly surprised! It's about a $$$ rating on cost, but is really well organized with a variety of things to do. They have picnic areas, mini golf, trails and gift shop. Not much for concessions so bring your own food if looking to eat. We did the cave tour and gem mining. Tour was about an hour, advance reservations recommended. I had two 6 year olds and they had a blast, they got cold but not too bad. The tour guides do a great job explaining the history, what you're looking at and all kinds of cave facts. It's big inside, there are low spots but you don't really feel claustrophobic if that's something you're concerned about. Gem Mining was a good time, kids were super excited about the treasures they got to bring home. If you're looking for a different activity to do with the kids, adults or family then you should check it out "!

I went here for a second-grade field trip (don't worry, I'm not a second grader, just a chaperone…read moreLOL). The long, hot, and noisy bus ride to Spring Valley was well worth it to spend an afternoon here. Don't let the name fool you, there aren't any crystals in the cave (that I know of) but it's still a riot! I especially enjoyed the story about Charlie the caveman. I'm not going to spoil anything, but I heavily respect the management's creativity to make an intricate story out of rock formations LOL! Rock and history enthusiasts (like me) will especially enjoy the cave (just be mindful it's cold down deep) Spelunk on!

First time golfing here and it was a fantastic experience for my wife and me. A couple…read morehighlights: - several holes had amazing views of the river valley so much so that the couple we were golfing worh took lots of photos - the greens were challenging but in a fun way as lots of slope and very well maintained. - the course had a really relaxed vibe and fellow golfers were very friendly. - the staff was super friendly from the person washing carts who got us set up to the pro shop to the beverage cart server to the restaurant/bar where we had lunch after our round. Everyone had a smile and that definitely contributed to a fantastic atmosphere. The course had lots of terrain and mature trees but wasn't too punishing for novice golfers (90-110 scores) who only play a couple rounds per summer typically but are working to play more often. I would highly recommend making the drive during the summer and can only imagine the views in early fall with the river valley leaves. Finally it looks like the clubhouse / restaurant is set up to host events and wedding receptions with amazing views. We will be back as the views, course, and staff made the easy 1 hour drive from Eagan well worth it.

We golfed here for the first time and the views were well worth a road trip. A free pass, won at…read morethe Golf Expo in Minneapolis from Treasure Island, brought us here. A couple of switchbacks on the road bring you to a ridge overlooking the Mississippi River. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape. The forward tees were around 4800 yards which is a bit more on the shorter side but the many narrow fairways created plenty of challenges. Staff was friendly. Carts did not have GPS. We had a great experience and would gladly return for another round.

I called probably five times over the course of a business week, leaving a voicemail early on. I never got a response. Not like they didn't call for a few days, like they just never called. I finally got a response when I emailed. The reason for the attempted contact: I wanted to come visit my family and wanted to inquire over any fees. $5 visitor fee per person. Okay, that makes sense. More people, more fees. I had also asked, however, how much it would cost to put up a tent on my family's campsite in case I had a few and didn't want to drive home. They wanted to charge me the entire cost of renting a site, PLUS the visitor fee. i.e. It was more expensive to spend a night on my family's site than to rent my own site. Whaat?? My family tried to head to a nearby town to go tubing down nearby cannon river but apparently it was college weekend or something, so we went back to the site since they offer river tubing. 90 minute wait for a tube with no organization system. There's a signup, but it doesn't matter. So much for the hidden gem this place used to be.
