- Wear comfortable sneakers or slip-resistant sandals - the course is carved into a forested mountainside with uneven terrain, not suitable for high heels

- Request Nikki or other experienced staff at the gem mining station - visitors consistently praise her knowledge, engaging personality, and ability to help families learn about gems while keeping children entertained
