About The Mystery Spot
The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly located in the redwood forests just outside Santa Cruz, California. Visitors explore this unusual natural phenomenon through guided tours that showcase how gravity appears to behave differently within the designated area. The attraction features a hiking trail where guests can experience the effects firsthand while walking through the forest landscape. On-site facilities include a Snack Shack for refreshments and a Gift Shop offering clothing, drinkware, magnets, wall plaques, keychains, bumper stickers, books, and gifts for kids. The Mystery Spot accommodates school field trip programs and group reservations for organizations such as schools, churches, and youth groups. A California Historical Landmark designation recognizes the site's notable status. The attraction maintains photo galleries, video galleries, and historical galleries documenting the Mystery Spot's history and visitor experiences.
