Sorry, that sound’s very discouraging. I think it’s wonderful your son is interested in geology. But I do think the closest you will get to something like this is limestone caves, which can be very spectacular also, just not the extent of a wonder like this.

There are limestone caves you can definetly visit, as for crystal caves I don’t know. However, if your son wants to protect them, then not going to see them is a good start… just the presence of a human being within caves like this starts to affect the cave temperature, pH, chemical composition… the cave would slowly be destroyed with public access.
Another gypsum cave was featured in the BBC’s series ‘Planet Earth’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ci4-7UbZ7I

Is there a crystal cave that people can visit. My 9 year old son loves them and wants to protect them and study them.

Please tell me that they have re-flooded the cave thus making it lost to humans as it once was many years ago.
