Let me tell you what a wonderful experience we had at crystal caves. I called in wanting to bring a group- spoke to Deb. She was super sweet. We talked about the group coming in and made it seamless and I learned of the group discount. We roll up, got the kids on the course in record time.
They had a blast! We got food at Robbies place - Drew behind the counter was extremely patient with my kids as we ordered and paid for lunch. Deb was super speedy in the kitchen to get all. The food made! Then there was Dan, who was an absolute gem while my children.
Not so patiently. Waited for their turn on the bungee trampoline. He was efficient and made sure the kids were safe and having a blast.
Then we got ice cream! The young woman, drew, and Deb crushed it popping out ice creams and slushies for my kids. My kids are EXHAUSTED but cannot stop talking about how much fun they had at Crystal Caves.
Thank you so much for making our field trip so memorable and the sign! Tried not to cry when I saw it. Thank you thank you!
