Man did this bring back childhood memories for me. My friend and I stopped by with the intent of going to the museum and got sidetracked by the gem mine. I got the mega bag and my friend got the bucket. We both went to our sifting stations and got to sifting. It was so much fun to sift through and see what gems you could find. I use to do this with my mom with I was younger and it's just as much fun today as it was back then. This is an absurdly incredible fun experience for all age ranges.

A fantastic Covid safe kids activity! I took my seven-year-old and two-year-old to do some gem mining, and they absolutely loved it! The facility is very clean, and is very large. They require masks so we felt very safe while we were in there because it’s so big there’s plenty of room for people to spread out and stay 6 feet apart. My kids split a bucket of dirt (30 ish) and found a ton of little treasures! Chris, the manager, was super nice and very knowledgeable about all the different rocks and gemstones. I thought the prices were really fair given the experience that the kids get. Overall, a wonderful activity for kids!

Out of all the gemstone mining places in the Boone/Blowing Rock area we chose Doc’s Rocks and we we chose right! This is a wonderful place with plenty of shopping available, rocks are clearly labeled and organized, the staff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and friendly. We visited on our honeymoon where we got a big bucket and found many gemstones and minerals. After the mining is done they sit you down and show you every type of rock you found and what it is, giving you a legit geology lesson. We left very happy and educated

Unfortunately not a kid friendly attraction as they have no public restrooms. Very odd to have a family friendly attraction with no restroom for small children to use. Five minutes into gem mining and we had to leave because my daughter has to go to the bathroom. We won’t be back just for this very reason.

My fiancé and I have been here twice within a month. We always get the big bucket and just go at it. It’s so much fun and the staff is always wonderful! Their knowledge and enthusiasm make it a terrific experience. We definitely recommend this for a educational yet fun experience for kids of all ages!
