We are returning visitors and loved the tour. Such a beautiful and amazing cave to tour. Nice tour guide. Gift shop has lots of treasures. We even liked our family picture.

Whiteney Family

I've been here a few times with family over they years, most recently this fall while camping nearby. The cave tour is really good - there are a lot of really beautiful and interesting formations (My kids love the 'cave bacon') and pools that reflect the natural architecture.

There's also a nice walking path outside, and an area with various games/activities for the kids. It's definitely a fun/educational day trip for the kids.
