A very informative tour that gives you a good history of this particular cave and also teaches you more about geology in general. A lively guide will make it an entertaining experience.
Fun place to take the kids. Our tour guide was amazing. There is a cost and there are no self guided tours, that surprised people in our group so I thought it Good to mention! We loved it. Some tight and narrow places but mostly big open beautiful caverns. Fun history lesson as well!
The hike up to the cave entrance sucks on a hot day. Be sure to take water. If it's a hot day you will not need a jacket inside. It took us a long time to cool down even being inside the cool cave. If it's a chilly day you definitely want a light jacket. I have been here twice but the second time it was almost 100° and make the walk not so great but it is so worth it. The caves are absolutely stunning and beautiful. Lots of bending and stooping in caves and even a small slide. Definitely recommend going and making it a family event. Take a lunch to eat for once you come out of the cave. It's cheaper. They do have a little sandwich shop though if you would like to purchase lunch. Also a gift shop to get a neat souvenir. I have been twice and it was worth it both times. If you are staying the night at the campsites or even close by you should check out Norris hot springs. It's not too far away from the Caverns.
This was a great stop for an adventure! Had a blast learning about all of the different rooms/caves. Our guide was super smart and very detailed. Cute little gift shop. Great hike as well, definitely grab some good hiking and nonslip shoes.
Excellent State Park lots and lots of History to be read seen and heard. Our tour guide was a fantastic young lady did a great job well worth the drive and well worth the $12 I think to go on the tour. Great little gift shop at the top parking lot . informational area down at the lower lot with a nice Lodge style information center. Nice clean restrooms they're handicapped accessible. And the only flush toilet still you get top of the hill. No bathrooms in the cave make plenty of pit stops nice and cool in there I went through just fine and shorts and a t-shirt a lot of people wear a jacket though. Especially females... Campground look pretty nice but of course was full the night I wanted to stay there.
Absolutely worth it! Even if you're not enthralled with caves and rock formations, see it at least once for the wow factor of seeing something interesting, beautiful and weird all at the same time.
As a note, the hike to get to the start isn't too bad, but it is about a mile and you are pretty much walking uphill the entire time, in the sun. Tho it is a more gradual incline and there are plenty on benches to stop to take a break on, if needed. There's trash cans at the top, so feel free to bring a water bottle. Guides allow about half an hour for the climb.
