Just another small cavern. Don't waste your time unless you have plenty to waste.

Ok. Most reviews talk about price. So yes it cost $14.00 per person with $1 off coupon. So if you know that then you will not be surprised. We arrived at lunch time and didn't mind waiting the 10 minutes for guide to finish his lunch before our tour. We waited in the newly remodeled entrance with very clean restrooms... More

We decided to stop on our way through Maryland for vacation at the Caverns because my son loves rocks and formations. The gentleman that met us iside was very informative and nice to talk with.

If you live in Within an hour of Boonsbore this is a must at some point. Beutiful place, less money than Lurray. If you are a civil war buff on a tour through Antietam you should take an hour and do this as wel.

I used to take my children here when they were little. It's a nice funky little family owned cave, not a big touristy operation like Luray or Skyline Caverns. The cave formations are spectacular and the setting is very pretty. Nice to come out afterwards and have a picnic by the creek. You can easily combine this with a day... More

My wife loves exploring caverns, and she was absolutely amazed at all the formations around every corner. Be sure to wear a jacket, no matter what time of year it is. We went on a hot August day, and my teeth were practically chattering even though I was enjoying the refreshing chill. Maryland only has the one cavern (so far),... More
