My family lives looking for unique stones and fossils so this is a treat to shop here! Took a family friend from out of town to look around and we loved the friendly helpful staff, displays of unique treasures, and educational materials. I don't honestly miss the craziness of the old location as the kids were all seemingly unsupervised by complaining parents. This is more focused and tidy! Nice! Will come back!

Disappointing. Lack of selection, and high prices. The "kids area" is underwhelming and expensive. We had more fun collecting sea glass and pretty rocks on Glass Beach, which is within walking distance. The overall experience was alright though. The woman at the till was friendly and ready to help or answer any questions! Just not sure Mineral "World" is a fitting name.
I think anyone who enjoys learning about minerals and geology will enjoy visiting Mineral World - it is fun for the whole family. I've also found incredible gifts here for my family at Christmas time. Good prices, knowledgable staff and a beautiful space supplies plenty of entertainment for anyone who loves this stuff like I do.
I googled family activities in the Victoria area and came across the scratch patch and mineral world website where we were promised an opportunity to pan for gold, fill reasonably priced bags with gems and shells, and browse through a large earth science interpretive center. However, this business has since moved locations, gotten rid of the gold panning center, and increased the prices of the gem and shell bags. It was quite disappointing, it would have been better had the website accurately represented the business and I not promised a child we would pan for gold.
Felt like I had been lied to when I walked into the store. Nothing like the website that has apparently been left up covered with misinformation for seven years. While the shows playing on TV were informative, the level of gore on display next to the kids play area was slightly inappropriate in my opinion (dinosaurs goring out the neck of fellow dinosaurs Yikes!). Would be one star but after some consoling the children still had fun without gold panning.
Fun place to take the kids. I always end up getting something.
Fun for kids of all ages. Love browsing the beads.
Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Excellent experience.
