Amazing! I came here this morning and was so impressed that I just had to leave a review! Firstly, the vibe that you get from this place is so unique and calming. The plant selection is gorgeous and I took so many photos! The crystals are all so unique and beautiful, the fossils are astounding and the coffee from the cafe is one of the best I’ve ever had. The giant Buddha statue gives a feeling of serenity and peace in its giant beauty. I love how they have the locals pass so that it’s actually really affordable for people who want to come regularly. They have a large selection of beautiful crystals in the gift shop and there are some amazing photo opportunities 😍 Would 100% recommend 🤩

Visiting Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens was a peaceful and refreshing experience. The gardens are beautifully maintained with a calming atmosphere, giant Buddha statues, and scenic walking paths. The crystal displays are impressive and the vibe overall is very relaxing and spiritual. It can get a bit busy at times, but there’s plenty of space to wander and enjoy the surroundings. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the café offers nice light refreshments. Overall, a lovely place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy nature.

Home of largest crystals. I took a wander through serene botanic gardens, journey the labyrinth, and connected with ancient crystals. Discovering tranquil spaces for relaxation, meditation, and a deeper connection with nature. Its is on the expensive entry price for what is there. Especially if it was crowded looking at the large car park. Wasnt many experiences in the morning and more for afternoon which was disappointing

Today l had the most amazing day wandering around Crystal Castle. The entry fee was reasonable and included crystal and sound meditation. This is really rare as most places require additional appointment bookings wirh a fee after entry. The staff at the cafe were friendly, with all food appearing fresh. The grounds were so mystical and magical. What a beautiful place to visit.

magical experience. The views were breathtaking, and the crystals were the most beautiful I have ever seen. Everything was simply perfect – the meditation, the delicious food, and the aura photography. We left feeling uplifted, inspired, and filled with positive energy. It was a truly special day, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. ✨💜
