The Crystal Caves

Tourist attraction

🫤 Fun but absolutely not worth the price. In and out of the maze in a matter of minutes. Typical tourist trap. Kids enjoyed it and that's all that matters I guess. People often mention maze, minutes, worth, time, money, mirror, good, recommend,

    This was a complete waste of money. $30 for 2 people and we literally came out within 2 minutes. The mirror maze beside the Lazer maze is a hundred times better, bigger and not a complete rip off like this one. I don't even think it's worth it for little kids because kids would love the other one better for sure. Disappointing garbage.

    I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but this one really got the best of me. I paid 42$ for myself and two children. Like that isn’t expensive enough, my daughter, who’s 8, chickened out as soon as she walked into the maze. We turned around instantly, exited from the entrance and the worker refused to refund us our portion of the fee. Unbelievable! I will never recommend, nor will I ever be back.

    Kids wanted to go for the mirror maze .. nice location. Right next to the big Burger King and other places like upside down house . Wasn’t crowded . Was expensive for few mins of entertainment.. my youngest kid liked it . It was good inside and very interesting . But I wish the maze was a little big/ long .. it finished pretty quick. I thought of giving a 2 star but because my smaller kid liked it , it’s worth for a 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ .. parking is crazy .. of course nothing close by. Lots of restaurants around though. Overall an average experience…

    My girlfriend and son went through, neither were impressed. $30 for the two of them for less than 3 minutes of fun. (didn't even have enough time to grab a slice of pizza myself, lol) Unfortunately would not suggest this one. Other attractions are more fun, and MUCH better bang for buck if a factor.

    The place was ok. It was a pretty big maze and you got to wear these glasses to further confuse you. I got out quite quickly but the staff let me go again so it was ok. The staff themselves were ok. Not rude but not nice either. The place it self is pretty expnsive for what it is but if your looking for a attrcation to take your kids, go to here.

    For a family it cost us 72 dollars and we finished the maze in about 3 minutes. It was kinda cool but definitely not for that price! Find something else to do.

    WAY too overpriced. $45 for three of us. Not worth your time at all. Our family payed and before we knew it we were in and out of there in 2 minutes. If your looking for a cool mirror maze, check out the one down the strip beside the laser maze. A much better bang for your buck.

    An absolute rip-off and waste of hard earned money. A boring maze of mirrors period , 5 minutes from start to finish walking around holding your hands in front of you wearing gloves and 3D glasses. $29 for myself and granddaughter and we both hated it and felt cheated. Save yourself time and money and avoid this tourist ripoff!!!!!

    Expect rude greetings and no smiles from the staff here. Came here at 2pm today to a very unfriendly welcome. Attraction was just okay (2/5) but the way me and my significant other were greeted doesn't make me think we will be coming back. For other options nearby, I recommend the Midway or Dinosaur Adventure Golf.

    Kind of split down the middle on this one. It is an interesting, and can be challenging, mirror maze. And you are able to go through as many times as you want during the day until they close. However, I am not sure if it is worth $45 USD for a family of four. Especially considering that you are not going to stay at this one attraction all day.

    Biggest waste of time and money! My fiance and I paid $30 for us 2 and we were done the maze in 5 min! There's no change in theme or anything throughout the whole maze its just the same theme for the 5 min that youre in there for. Better to spend your money on something else!

  • 2/5 Lisette & T. 3 years ago on Google
    For $30 for two people, this was not worth it at all. It’s just too quick with nothing special within the maze. The staff was very nice, but the when you open the exit curtain less than five minutes after you started, you very quickly wish you could get your money back and spend it somewhere else on Clifton Hills. Would not recommend.

    Cool place, the maze is short but it's fun to walk around, can get lost easily. Very trippy.

    Really not as bad as most of these reviews , it’s the same as the other one just more outdated as it’s an og Clifton hill attraction. Fun time and if you want your moneys worth once you find the end just turn around…. It’s fun to get lost

    I've always done this maze over the years with my family but recently prices have gone up and it costs a fortune for how little time you get in the mirror maze. Love the decorations, music, and the thought into keeping the glass clean by wearing gloves.

  • 4/5 Derek S. 1 year ago on Google
    You have to wear gloves so the mirrors aren’t smudged which is good, it’s definitely fun but also pretty quick like others have said but it’s not super easy and I hit a few dead ends. We purchased them with a double deal and it wasn’t too expensive compared to other stuff here.

    WAAAAAY OVERPRICED! Tourist trap! Fun to do if it was $2 or $3 a person. The greedy owner must be laughing all the way to the bank each day!

  • 4/5 Jeff F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun mirrored maze. Took about 5-7 minutes to find our way out.

  • 1/5 Lana B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very boring, a less than 5 minute experience for $15, only mirrors and the same song playing over and over again

  • 5/5 Nick 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of fun. Yes, it's a little pricey, but so is everything else in the area. Our 3 year old loved it, and I had a blast too. Went through it several times.

    This is a good— place to be in, I can admit this is fun & the tour is so good I even want to buy a second ticket! The employees are good & nice to, but, it’s a bit expensive but still 5-star, that’s it, end of story.

  • 4/5 Maeve A. 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone keeps on stating that it is "too easy" and "it only takes 5 minutes". I think they, by absolute random chance, made their way through it far sooner than intended. I went there with my mother. Together, we got lost too thoroughly that we accidentally ended up turning around in the mirror maze and exited through the entrance! I was honestly quite scared we would not get out! It has very entertaining animal animatronics at the entrance. Take a few seconds to listen to what they have to say. It is quite funny. The staff were very neutral - not necessarily polite, not impolite, but formal enough. They take great precautions ensuring protection against COVID-19. The maze itself is very fun and adventurous that anyone can enjoy! The environment is not frightening in any way but is very interesting looking with chemiluminescent features, with clean music playing throughout. They give you these special glasses which gives things a sort of blurred imagery, but just barely. It simply adds to the adventure! This is 100% suitable for friends and family. I definitely recommend it, as I thought it was very fun.

  • 1/5 Jessica D. 2 years ago on Google
    Biggest rip off ever. I never leave negative reviews, but this attraction was a complete waste of money. Walked through in less than 2 minutes.

  • 4/5 Lindsay P. 6 years ago on Google
    We thought admission was fair for a student ticket compared to most other attractions and the cashier was absolutely lovely. The maze itself is pretty neat although unfortunately a bit dark inside, which permitted us taking any decent photos. Like we did, I'd recommend visiting when it's quiet as we were able to move back and forth and spend as much time as we liked inside.

  • 1/5 Sara S. 9 months ago on Google
    It is not worth at all waste of money.. save it for something else ,not recommend it at all it does worth 1 $ not 35 $ !!!!!!

  • 3/5 Sam C. 4 months ago on Google
    The mirror maze itself was entertaining, and we had a good time navigating it. This attraction is fun for families, or couples. However, the price per ticket is far too high for how long the maze is. The maze itself is on par with a carnival maze meaning it's short, and should only cost $5 to get in. This is definitely a do it once and never do it again attraction
