Our second time coming back. Last time was about 7 years ago. Always a great experience. The rock formations are amazing!! The underground river is awesome, with water so pure you can even drink it. The best part was in the “Great Room” when they shut off all the lights. Pure darkness. Our tour guide was Chance and he was very informative. Lots of stairs for sure but well worth it.

Such a cool experience! Probably one of my favorite excursions. The Caverns were massive, the air felt so clean. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the caverns, having grown up in the area. We were able to taste the cave water, experience absolute darkness, and the tour ended at an underground waterfall. Though the space was fairly wide throughout most of the caverns, there were a few tighter spaces, and there was only 1 entry and exit-just to keep in mind if anyone experiences shortness of breath.

This is a great cave! Our tour guide was thorough in his explanations of formations and the history of the cave. I did the whole cave with a 5 year old and others had smaller kids. So it is kid friendly and easy to do. Not good if you have trouble with stairs.

Absolutely awesome! Our tour guide was amazing. He was hilarious and super educated on the caves. I wish I could remember his name but all i remembered was it started with a J. The caves were huge and the water was crystal clear. (Way too cold to stick your feet in but I always gotta put my hand in to see how cold it is.) Quite a few stairs but if you can make it up and down a couple flights of stairs, it's well worth it.

Can we get through the caves with a 2 yr old in a backpack carrier? Can they walk through it or is it too difficult for a toddler?

Yen Chau | Jul 23, 2018

We had our almost two year old in a backpack carrier. A few areas where you have to crouch low. It was a success.
