my partner and i LOVE the gem mine, we visit very frequently! our favorite bucket to sift through is the $200 miners mix Papa Bear bucket! worth every penny, and definitely worth the visit! we typically spend about an hour at the store, from the gem mining to the fantastic rock shop in the back! thank you Pigeon Forge Gem Mine! you are the absolute best!!

Seriously wonderful experience with pigeon forge gem mine, It was very fun to go there . Just loved the place it was soo good. all the staffs were so cheerfull and very helpful. If be franked it was my first time there but it was really a good experience with familiy. You must try this place. At last the place was too clean even the floors were shining and really i am saying you with my experience of tourism that these kind of places are hard to clean. Uhmm, there were somethere named jessica if I remember maybe she was a member of a cleaning company something like mountain top cleaning and maintenance their cleaing was too good. Over all if I have to rate this place then I will rate it 15/10 really enjoyed every moment there and loved to find the new jades

Such a fun stop in Pigeon Forge and something totally different than the usual attractions. The Gem Mine was a blast, they even identified our stones for free, and the rock shop was really cool. You can even have something made from what you find—definitely worth it! We will definitely be back!

We had the best time with our girls! They enjoyed mining and learning about the stones we found! Kelly was very sweet with our kids!

Had a great time at the gem mine with my 7-year-old daughter. She loves digging and gemstones and getting her hands dirty. This was a perfect activity and fun for the adults too. Don’t expect to get rich finding diamonds, but your kid will love unearthing nice big chunks of amethyst tips, lots of quartz and agate of all types. Fun store in back with lots of jewelry and stones too. Nice people!
