Blue Diamond Gemstone Panning - Children's amusement center in Cary - 1823 NC-55, USA

Cool place for kids to enjoy panning for gemstones and fossils. Play areas are small, good for very little kids. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable about the rocks and fossils.

Great place for birthdays, or just spending a fun morning with kids. We live so close, and I can't count how many times we passed this place and didn't know it existed... We had a birthday party there. Kids had a blast just exploring all the fun areas (caves, goat petting, swings, and more), followed by the main activity which was mining rocks. You can add special gems for extra $, then relax in a shaded area for some food. We actually stayed after the birthday was over and played outdoors. A few things to notice: - it was warm, so if you are booking a bday, do it in the 1st shift (10:30am) - make sure if there is another event. We were rushed to finish by the employees, but there was no event there. We could actually pay a little extra and won't be in a rush to leave Bottom line: we will be back. It was super-fun :)

Great place for kids to have some outdoor fun. I have driven by so many times and did not realize what this place was. Staff are very friendly and place is very clean.

My daughter, 6, enjoyed it. Lots of little play areas. It was about $5 for her to play. We picked the $9 pan bucket. She found d so.e cool pieces. It was shaded. Lots of places to sit or explore. Friendly, knowledgeable service.

This place was the best! We were visiting NC last minute and looking for some fun things to do with our kids of varying ages (13, 10 and 3). We love hunting for rocks and have visited many places to pan of rocks/gems across the US but this was by far the best we have ever visited. Their prices were very fair. I loved the open space they had available for the kids to stretch their legs and play. After we finished panning our youngest was able to entertain himself on the playground and building with the jenga like blocks and dinosaurs. While, my other two hunted for fallen treasures on the ground. The staff was so kind and knowledgeable and spent hours talking to our son who is obsessed with rocks. She helped him find and identify several rocks, gems and fossils answering all of his (and my) questions in the process. I would definitely recommend coming here!!

This was the second location visited by myself and my Bestie it was our first time visiting. Unfortunately we did arrive later in the day due to some unfortunate events before arriving but we still had a great experience. The people that were working that day I can't tell you anything but good things they were so helpful and knowledgeable it made things so much better. If your a collector or just want to try it for whatever reason it's a must! They have something for everyone it's a hands on experience that will definitely make the young ones smile. We loved it.

Love the laidback atmosphere and all the areas where the kids can run, climb and play. Such a great way to spend a Saturday and be outdoors. Very friendly and helpful staff!

I like this place, my daughter enjoys it. The girls on staff are joyous and happy, and stop and talk to the kids and point out rock's which is a HUGE plus, and they remember us, and sometimes show customer loyalty appreciation in small ways. You guys are great, and I and my Daughter and wife truly appreciate you guys and your excellent enthusiasm. It's more then customer service, it's making everyone just have a genuine pleasant day and memory which is better then anything to a child. 🙂 Thanks for the memories.
