Mystery Island has become a major tourist resort, features many [[game]]s, [[shop]]s, the [[Trading Post]], and the first [[Training School]]. There is a [[Tiki Tours|tour]] of the island an owner can take their [[Neopets]] on for a small fee. In the summer, the weather is usually very hot, at around 40 degrees, with very little rain, but it is usually very wet in the late fall and winter months with lots of rain and sometimes snow.

The Island is home to the [[Faerie]] [[Jhuidah]], who overlooks the [[Cooking Pot]] and the Trading Post. For some time, the Island held a giant golden statue of [[Donna]], who won the Sacrificers plot, and recently the [[Lost City of Geraptiku]] was rediscovered. Mystery Island is also the site of many of [[Jake]] the adventurer's exploits.
