  • We really enjoyed our tour. It's a little pricey, but we're glad we went. There are headphones that narrate as you walk through the cave.

  • We enjoyed our visit. At first we thought maybe it wasn’t open, it was November and a weekday, but we walked down and were welcomed immediately upon walking in. It was nice to have the headphones to hear the history of the cave as well as about caves in general. Cute little gift shop and I saw other spaces/areas that are probably open in the summertime. It is a walk in and back out on the same pathway so with lots of visitors it could be a little crowded.
  • I really enjoyed this cave! There is a self-guided audio tour that lasts about 20 minutes (they space groups out every four or five minutes so you aren't crammed together). The audio tour was really well done and interesting, and when it's finished you're free to walk around as long as you'd like. The cave isn't nearly as big as some of the others I've been to, but having the opportunity to take our time instead of being huddled together in a large group was great. They also have a large gift shop with lots of items. Be prepared that the ramps to and from the cave are *steep*!
  • It was a fun trip into a smaller cavern. With a group of friends it can be a fun adventure! The geological formations were beautiful, but the tour left me feeling lacking. It cost roughly $26 for two people to get into the cave and you were required to wear a headset that had an audio recording of the guide. It felt impersonal. The tour was around 30 minutes, and the gift shop was interesting. If you have some time in the area I would definitely say it is worth the trip!
  • Cave was pretty cool. Cute gift shop with a sweet cat that was sleeping in a rock bin. They give you a head set and you listen to it as you walk yourself through the cave. You get to the end and have to turn around back the way you came in. Some of the lights didn't work so some areas were dark. I adjusted my headphones and ended up resetting the voice recording somehow. Not very big, but a nice experience. They also offer ax throwing, but we didn't do it.
  • We loved this place! It was my first time in a cave and it was awesome. They have headphones u put on and gives u a guided tour with lots of interesting historical facts. Then they have a place where u buy a bag with dirt and gems and u can “pan” for treasure. Bags are priced per size we got the ‘MotherLoad’ $35 and split it as advised by a couple that was leaving as we arrived and so glad we did. Totally worth it and when we bought bag we got $4 off admission.
