Crater of Diamonds State Park Review

Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro Arkansas was a wonderful family trip.  Even my 78 year old mother had fun.  The entry fee is $7 and if you find a diamond you get to keep it.  They have people who will tell you if what you have is a diamond or just a piece of crystal, or much to my dismay a piece of glass.  The fee is for the entire day and you can leave and come back if you want to.  The largest diamond found there was 40 carats in 1924 but people are still finding them today. a 3 carat was   while we were there.  If you get tired of diamond hunting there are crystal mines you can go and dig near to look for quartz. The only downside is  in the middle of summer it is too hot and alot of bugs, This is a really fun place and we are going back soon.
