The Scratch Patch556

The kids' eyes light up when they step into the building, and Amanda really takes the time to make them feel special! We keep our stones in a bowl in the living room, and all the neighborhood kids love to play in them and dig for their favorites! I even went without my kids!! I spent four hours of just mommy/friend time digging for MY favorite rocks!

What a beautiful place! When we were there, a grandfather sat on the bench while the kids stretched out on the polished stones. My daughter keeps her stones in a special dish at home.

My children had a blast! My youngest told me this was better than Disney World - it sure cost a lot less I thought:) The Scratch Patch moved to a bigger location, we visited them yesterday and the new place looks great. Over 2 tons of stones with new identification charts. The experience is just getting better over there. We loved the old location but it was small and sometimes crowded. There were plenty of people there but it did not feel crowded. My daughter absolutely loves this place, I wish they have season passes since I think we will be there often this summer. I recommend you visit them, the owners are really great people and it feels good to support a small business where they really care about the experience you have. You don't feel like just another customer - we love it!

My almost 4 and 7 year old boys thought this place was so cool! They kept filling their bags, then emptying them out again because they just couldn't decide on what to keep. Such a simple yet effective idea, I didn' imagine how much it would keep their attention, and the gentleman working there was very knowledgeable about the type of stones they picked out

My children had the most amazing time at the Scratch Patch. They (I) could not believe we could walk and sit on thousands and thousands of tumbled gemstones. They did not want to leave. I did not want to leave!!! What an experience this was. I highly recommend this wonderful little place. I took the most amazing pictures of my children on the colorful stones. The prices are very reasonable and my children are still playing with the stones and enjoying the colors. I am really pleased with the whole experiencing and we are planning another trip back in a few weeks.

What an amazing place, you have to experience it!
