This was originally listed as "Crystal Grottoes Caverns", but evidence from photos and signs indicates that "Caverns" is not part of the formal name of the place. Mangoe 14:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

As the subject has come up again, let me point out that on this page the owner quite consistently refers to it as "Crystal Grottoes". Mangoe (talk) 22:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

The title of the site is "Crystal Grottoes Caverns", and the owner refers to "caverns" several times in the text. Perhaps the whole shebang is the caverns, and the scenic parts are grottoes? The terminiology for caves is a bit misty for me, but the term grotto connotes a smaller space than cavern (not sure where room fits in) TreacherousWays (talk) 16:27, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
