Very informative tour and guide. Nice setting and taking the boat on an underground river is an awesome experience. Be prepared to walk a little and do some sets of stairs! All in all an educational fun and good physical activity. The gift shop was also very nice. Shout out to our guide Brianna who was knowledgeable and friendly!

This was the first cavern we have taken our children to, and it was a great experience. Just the right length, with a boat ride in the middle. We had a great tour guide. Would definitely recommend!

It was awesome!!! Beautiful and so unexpected. I especially liked the boat ride. I would recommend everyone go and experience the history of the caverns. Our guide was great too.

My wife and I did the walking cave tour, and it was fantastic! Being able to see the formations, the heights, the critters, it was great!
My only caveat is that if you have trouble with stairs, or if you have trouble walking while hunched over, I'd avoid this, as some parts only have about 4 feet of walking clearance.

The view is amazing!!@ great experience!!! The guide explains everything and also take care of everyone, allow people to take pictures, never hurry, the gift store is really nice, the 1000 m down experience very funny, great for kids, really enjoy the mining...we only miss some food options, not enough if you are hungry, would be great some cafeteria to take snacks and stay longer

Worth a stop if you're in the area, but not for what you're charged - for 2 people with the BASIC cave tour, it was $50+. Needed to switch our tour time 5 min after we bought the tickets to the next tour, and you would have thought I was taking someone's first born. Nasty woman! (A trickle of people when we were there), and we weren't asking for anything other than getting on the NEXT tour, and you'd think for $50 she would have been nicer. I won't go back, and there are other cave systems around that we had a much better experience with. Pretty caves, but know the boat ride is only about a 5 min jaunt I will say that the tour guide was great! Go - but plan on the expense!

This was my first time in a boat on an underground river. It was pretty cool. We did see prehistoric fossils, the blind crayfish and itsy bitty salamanders. The boat trip was a bit anticlimactic because the river was dammed. I understand the economics but wish they stuck to natural. They have the various rides which would appeal to kids,

The bat chaser was one of my favorite parts of the golden pack. The whole tour was very informative and made me want to go back! I also love love love the gift shop with all the different little trinkets to choose from. The bathrooms were so spacious and so clean. :)

I haven't been in a cave for more than 15 years. Are the steps difficult? Are the steps slippery? At the end of Squire Boone they have this awful spiral staircase - that I found both scary and slippery? Are the steps here similar or better? Please let me know.

Hi, This question is for folks who have been to the Caverns in the last couple of months. What were your experiences of the pandemic precautions in place at the Caverns? I'm seeing some references to packed boats and no masks in some of the recent reviews. Are social distancing and mask wearing practiced?
Thanks!

I went last month. Masks are required. The ride was socially distanced and I believe they even sanitized the boat.
Describe the Bat Chaser - Zip Coaster please: age or height restrictions, cost by age, etc.? Thank you.

I am 64 and my husband is 67 and I have a disability and we both did fine including the steps. The hardest part was walking down the incline towards the steps, I simply held my husband's hand to make sure I didn't slip. It was a great cavern tour!
