    me & the stegosaurus hole in minigolf!
    Ember D.

    my bf & I came here for our anniversary as a little weekend trip. we stayed in menominee & drove to spring valley for our tour & mini golf. -the tour was phenomenal, I am such a geek for a cool earthy experience like this! the guide was really good & ensured a great time for everyone! -the staff were all so sweet, we got rained out for our mini golf... came back later in the day but they were skeptical as it was sprinkling & lightning could be a factor to interrupt us so we came back the day after. They gave us free prospectors creek tickets for coming back. -I would recommend to everyone, kids would love this(maybe age 5 and up as there are steps in the cave!) the mini golf is for everyone which btw is very well maintained & I loved the Jurassic park music vibe.

    The signs for Cystal Cave caught my eye when driving back and forth between Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Decided to check it out last time and am glad I did! It's kind of in the middle of nowhere but worth traveling off the beaten path for. It's a cool tour that shares an interesting history of the cave and fun cave facts like what cave kisses are muah muah! My favorite part of the tour was when they turned off all of the lights and you get to experience complete and total darkness which actually feels pretty trippy. Owning up to the Crystal cave name, they show some neat phosphorescent crystals at the end in the Wish room. The also have a gift shop above the cave with all sorts of crystals, minerals and jewelry you can buy. Go see what's all the rave at Cyrstal Cave!

    It was ok ... the name is a bit misleading .. was expecting lots of pretty crystals or something sparkling. It was similar to a cave we went to in Pennsylvania. there are lots of stairs but we had not trouble and though there is some moist gravels .. it wasn't slippery with good hiking shoes. We were traveling from Dayton to Minneapolis and stopped here on the way back. the guide was very nice and we felt very safe. he went on and on about the geology ... personally I would have preferred less talking and to see more. But I'd wanted to check it out and you don't know till ya go. there were some kids on our tour and they seemed bored with the long "educational talks" .. I know I was. But saw a few bats and was worth a peak. we went in early fall and it was super cold in the cave. some people had gloves and coats ... we wish we had.

    Fun and very interesting! Our tour guide was very funny and bubbly, Zoe was her name. Learned lots about the history of the cave and how it was discovered. My favorite parts was experiencing total darkness when she turned off all the lights for a couple minutes. Kids loved it, adults too! Bring a light jacket if you get cold easy, and comfortable shoes as there are lots of stairs and it's a little wet and muddy down there. After all, you are 7 stories underground!

    They do a great job with the tour. If you are claustrophobic this tour is for you. Very open. If you are in the area take the tour.

    We had a great tour guide, Lena, who took us seven stories underground and blew my kids mind.

    The Chippewa Valley Railroad operates on a loop in Carson Park, across the street from the historic…read morebaseball stadium. Appropriate for kids of all ages, especially those of us with grey hair that remember the real thing, the railroad operates passenger trains pulled by live steam or "diesel" power. The diesel, actually a model of GM's famous F series locomotives, runs on a Wisconsin internal combustion engine. It was built by the Miniature Train Company sometime between 1948 and 1956. It is one of at least 5 such trains operating in Wisconsin. (Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Green Bay, Wausau and here.) Chippewa Valley Railroad goes the typical MTC railroad one better with live steam. You can ride the MTC train or a live steam train. The loop is about a half mile and takes you along the bluff above the Chippewa River, past a picnic shelter, over the road that takes you to the depot, past a silent observer (keep your eyes peeled!) before returning to the station. When your train arrives, the next one departs. The trains were obviously built for little people but there is an open-air gondola that's a little more comfortable for larger folks. It's pulled behind the steam engine. Rides are reasonably priced, considering ticket sales are the only source of income for this rolling museum. It is manned by volunteers who love railroads, and you can tell when you speak with any of the staff. The Chippewa Valley Railroad only operates during the summer and only on Sundays and July 4. You might think it's only for kids. In that case, borrow a couple of kids from the neighbors and go ride the train.
