Cathedral Grove; not only do you drive through, you can get out and walk around too.

The tunnels would be near the top for me, but not as high; you can see tunnels anywhere. Cathedral Grove is a completely unique experience.

I haven't been to that one, I should try it sometime.

I remember Barkerville from over a decade ago. I wonder what, if anything, they've changed since then

First time I went there was in 1980… panned for gold and got some!

Nice!

I remember finding some neat little fossils, likely at the McAbee Fossil Beds. Unfortunately I was young at the time, and they were lost when we moved.

I might have to organize a road trip next summer

I got Barkerville vs Enchanted Forest. Barkerville is winning, as it should.
