Olentangy Caverns | Rock & Gem Gift Shop

This was an amazing place for a day trip! We purchased the do-it-all package for the five of us (mom, dad, son, daughter, and grandma) and we had a blast. The mini-golf was fun, the kids loved mining for gems at the sluice, the cave was refreshingly cool in the middle of a warm day, we went through the maze, fed animals at the petting zoo, ate lunch in their large covered pavilion area, and the kids played on the well-maintained wooden playground. The only issue we had while we were there was that the maze has three 'treasures' you can get with tokens, and some of those machines didn't dispense treasure, however, the staff was aware of the issue, and even if they couldn't fix it in advance of the issue, they were apologetic, and quick to offer replacement treasures. Fantastic customer service. Items in the gift shop were also surprisingly reasonable. Other day trips to places with gift shops felt like they were gouging quite a bit. We only spent about $25 in the git shop, and got something for everyone. And even better, it got busier throughout the day, but it never got BUSY, even on a Saturday. We never felt like we were the only ones there, but it was never crowded. It was just a wonderful experience, and we'll almost certainly go back again this summer. I hope anyone who reads this has as wonderful a time as we did!
