Loved it wasn't the best I've ever been too but it was definitely worth seeing. I would recommend that if you're in the area and got an hour and a half to take the tour to go for it. It's a little over a mile hike but it was an easy mile we had our 11 month old baby and we enjoyed it as well did she. Very interesting history behind the cavern itself, so if you're into the history and back story to the caves existence and use throughout history the guide was very informative and likeable...spend the money and enjoy the leisurely stroll...

Guided tour was fun and informative. Love going to all the caves I can and I highly recommend this one! Temp and time of day are irrelevant as the cave is usually pretty cool. Closed toe shoes are required, but I recommend something with a little ankle support if you are prone to tripping/etc.

Manda was an awesome guide! We had family members that tried to stay with the tour but needed to exit. Manda gracefully and respectfully assisted our members out of the cave then proceeded with the remainder of the tour. Very interesting and beautiful! Great history. Bet the acoustics during the concerts, back in the day, was awesome!

Best adventure for this year. We have been putting it off for quite sometime. Glad we came. Tour guide was the best, she gave us the up and down about the tour. She was very funny too :) The caves are nice to look at. There is much history there. If you are claustrophobic, please don't attempt to do this. Also follow and understand all the instructions before you make reservations. Have fun!!

Probably not, the lights they use are only turned on for a short time to keep molds from growing and ruining the walls of the cave. There are some outdoor cavern areas they might let you use, you would have to call the park office to find out

Maria Fernandez | Nov 21, 2021

Cavern is not pet friendly, no kennels on site. Weather is nice enough to have your windows down and the dog in a crate in your car. They have cameras on the outside, but take your valuables with you.

There are uneven surfaces and a few low places depending on which tour you take. I would say they could do it but it depends on how well balanced they are. If they have to have a walker I would say no.
