It was the perfect day to visit. It wasnt too crowded and thw tours are scheduled to run perfectly in sync with each other. We were able to walk around and get some great pictures for social media while waiting for the tour to begin. Loved our tour guide...very engaging and informative. Great place to visit

Besides the one hour wait, a great time was had by all! It was a cool place to go on a hot summer day. And we learned something too! But hey, Caverns management, how about losing the "mandatory mask" policy? Either that or provide the masks for your patrons. To charge $1 a mask is kind of a rip... Overall, a good time for the memory album!

This is awesome to see, educational and fun, our guide told us great stories and also facts about the Caverns....highly recommend! But also, be prepared to be a little chilled and get constant cold drips of water....still worth the tour😁 There is also a nice picnic area by a beautiful creek..

Every show cavern is a little different, this one has a fossilized sand dollar in its ceiling and has a stream with trout running through it. Tour guide was awesome. This tour is really inexpensive but not as big as some of the caverns along Blue Ridge Parkway.

Questions & Answers

How long is the tour?

30-45 minutes depending on group questions asked. Took my daughter for her 11th birthday and we all loved it. Be sure to wear (light) rain coats & have a head covering, especially after a big storm.

Is it safe to bring my 4 year old and 2 year old?

Yes. I took a 2 year old and 10 month old this last time. First time I went I had a newborn. You can not bring in strollers, so make sure your 4 year old brings tennis shoes that grip well in slick conditions. Same for your 2 year old if they will be walking. Also, it's a little chilly in there and water drips from the ceiling. I'd recommend pants and a light waterproof jacket with a hood.

Are tickets available for today?

Ken M | Aug 1, 2018
Marc Ryan | Aug 2, 2018

When we went they sold tickets at the caverns for same day tours. Our tour started 15 minutes after we arrived. Availability is really based on the crowds they have a any specific time. The one thing i suggest you check is to see if they have scheduled group tours at the same time you want to go. After our tour there was a bus of kids from a camp which made it immediately crowded.

Are there other things to do in the area? We're traveling up the East Coast and wondered if we headed to that area to see the caverns if there was possibly a hiking trail or something else to do close by? Also, Can this be done rain or shine?

Have they opened new sections or areas of the cavern in the last 20 or 30 years, the guide told us that the cavern was much larger than what we got to see when i was a kid. I loved it when i was a fourteen.

Coy Hilron | Aug 1, 2019

The caverns are much larger, however most are inaccessible due to hazards and excavation is ecology impossible.
