The Mystery Spot is NOW OPEN for public tours!

Our reduced group size of 14 will offer handwashing stations and follow all guidelines set by the Santa Cruz County Health Department. We will require that our guests and staff also wear face masks.

While we continue to practice social distancing, have installed sneeze shields and distancing markers, some of the tour will feature areas where keeping 6 feet apart may prove difficult. If this scenario is a concern to you, please visit us later this year when precautions relax.

The Mystery Spot is an outside venue under the beautiful Santa Cruz Redwoods, and we encourage you to come spend some time with us this summer!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
