I Want Cake!

The caverns were amazing! Very tight spaces in some areas, steep steps, and a lot of stairs back up but well worth it if those things don't bother you! The calcite formations we're beautiful and the guides are very informative. Stopped at the gift shop area and got some bags of dirt and minerals to sift through. You get quite a bit of crystals and neat rocks per bag! Very fun experience!

This was mine and my husband's first time going in a cave. We arrived for the first tour of the day, which was on Thursday, December 2, 2021. We had a wonderful time and our guide was amazing and she was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this cave tour. 😉👍

The cavern experience was really good. the tour guide explained the history and the formations very nicely and patiently. It was my first cave experience and a very good one too. It was a 45 min tour with about 1600 steps up and down. Pretty narrow and steep at some places. Tall persons and ppl carrying babies/toddlers have to be very careful.

How long does the caverns tour take?

Give yourself a couple hours to fully experience the cave tour and the gift shop. The tour group will not leave you behind. Plenty of handrails to assist with getting down and back up. Worth it!

Are u open in rain? Is it cold or humid inside?

Joyia Hutchings | May 21, 2019
James Dunn | May 22, 2019

Yes they are open when it is raining. Bring a sweater or light jacket, that you don't mind being smudged or roughed up by accidentally rubbing against metal stairs and rocks. You should consider splitting your group to do something different if a member is: 1) Clastriphobic 2) afraid of the dark 3) strength for 100 steep steps 4) afraid of heights 5) has vertigo Guidepost.us
