The Crystal Caves is very tactile. René built the caves to be interactive. Listen to the ambient music as you and your support person walk through the caves. Listen to your support person describe the crystals and reach out and touch the crystals on display that are not behind glass.

Hearing Impaired

René built the caves to be interactive. You are allowed to touch all crystals and even the cave itself. Feel how the expandable foam feels a little squishy and notice the different temperatures as you touch the crystals. Some are warm, while others are cold to touch.

Let the guidebook lead the way.
