Visitors are always asking…
IS IT A REAL CAVE?
No. The Crystal Caves is a museum built by René Boissevain to display his private collection of more than 600 crystals and fossils from all over the world in a fun and interactive way.
WHAT'S IN THE CAVES?
A world class collection of over 600 specimens of crystals and fossils from round the world. Which you can touch! Visitors can walk – and sometimes crawl around the web of spaces and discover the gems and stones for themselves.
ARE THE CRYSTALS AND ROCKS ALL FROM THE LOCAL AREA?
No. The collection displays crystals and fossils from all over the world. Just like visiting a zoo where some animals are only found in specific countries, so too is René’s collection of crystals and fossils from all over the world including several from Australia.
ARE THE CAVES WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE?
Yes. The Crystal Caves is wheelchair friendly.
CAN I TAKE PHOTOS?
Yes. We highly encourage you to take photos and videos of the specimens and the caves.
ARE YOU PET FRIENDLY?
Yes! We love your pets! We welcome all family members into our store and they can even explore the museum with you. If bringing a dog, please ensure they are on a lead.
HOW LONG DOES THE TOUR TAKE?
As there is so much to see, we recommend at least 40 minutes. However, being that it is a self-guided tour, you are welcome to spend as long as you like.
Be sure to leave enough time in your visit to crack a Geode and browse the gift and jewellery shop.
ARE THERE SPECIFIC TIMES THAT I CAN VISIT?
As it is a self-guided tour, you can arrive at any time of the day. As long as you arrive before 4pm, this allows at least one hour before closing time to enjoy the tour.
Booking recommended but not essential.
DO YOU HAVE AN ONLINE STORE?
No. However, you are welcome to give us a call on 07 4091 2365 or email us at info@crystalcaves.com.au and we will gladly send you some pictures of our stock available.
We also offer postage at an additional cost.
