The dust of the city makes people’s minds feel dazed. The noise of the city makes people restless. But the tranquility of the valley, the beautiful scenery, the lovely animals, and the various crystals full of energy restore peace to the heart. This is already my third time coming to this place. Whenever I feel unhappy, I always come here to ease my emotions. This is truly a very special place. I love this crystal farm. I have a great deal of research, passion, and understanding about crystals. In both Eastern and Western cultures, the meaning of crystals is the sameβ€”beauty. Amethyst can clear thoughts, keep the mind calm, and support one’s career. Citrine can open up the mind and bring more wealth. Clear quartz can purify the magnetic field and energy, allowing life to return to peace. Rose quartz represents love, hope, and beauty, and can bring vitality and happiness, making life full of love, sunshine, and radiant smiles. City life easily makes people lose themselves. Here, one can find inner peace and do a yoga of the soul.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Perfect for families with young children who want a full day of varied activities including animals, playground fun, and unique crystal experiences. Best suited for kids aged 3-10 who will appreciate the train rides and indoor play areas. Bring your own snacks or budget extra for overpriced cafe food.

β€œAmazing Fun for kids and adults both. Easy walking and free train ride. Lot of farm animals to look out for. Big dinosaur sculptures were fascinating to watch. The indoor playzone is awesome and great for kids to be busy. Cafe was busy but good. The cupcake size is huge and enough for 2 people. Dont forget the visit the crystal shop and museum which full of millions of crystals!! One of the best places for families and tourists to visit.”

β€œOne of the highlights of our one week trip. Kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly from the train ride around the animal enclosures (llamas, goats, peacocks, ponies, horses, emus), to the massive indoor playground as well as bonus roller coaster ride (luck out as a YouTuber was doing content so they run it on a non operational day). Food from the cafe was underrated and the staff were trying their best to bring joy to the kids.”

β€œWhat a lovely day. I did think there would be more animals than what there was but the children still enjoyed it. The indoor playground and rides were great (new since the last time we Went) we spent about 3 hours and the kids enjoyed the tractor ride. The crystal museum was a hit too! The shop is also amazing and well priced. The kids enjoyed panning for gems πŸ’Žβ€
