My wife and I have taken our kids (age 6 and 9) to Natural Bridge Caverns each of the last two years. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. This time we took the Hidden Passages tour which was great. The other tour is now self-guided. I am not sure if I would like that. The last time we took... More

We have been there several times. Always enjoy the cave. And the walk is not that tough. This cave is second only to Blanchard Springs in northern Arkansas in our opinion.Big rooms and large formations.

We just completed our 3.5 hour tour. It was very dirty and very fun. Sabrina was very knowledgeable & Steven was very fun! It was amazing and I am glad we did it. You definitely need to be a little athletic to really enjoy this tour. I would recommend bringing clothes to throw away immediately after. We were filthy! Showers... More

We've been to numerous caves around the country, and this one had more unusual features than we have ever seen in one cave. We took both tours, and since there are no elevators, it also provided us with a good bit of exercise (we are both in our sixties). You need good walking shoes with good traction, since the floor...

We signed up for the 4 hour adventure tour and enjoyed every minute! Our guides (Sabrina and Kyle) although quite young were incredibly knowledgeable. The caverns are truly amazing and a must see for anyone. There are a variety of tours to fit everyone. This one was adventurous and also super dirty! Perfect!

Family friendly tours of an interesting and beautiful natural site. Be prepared for steep wet walkways. it's interactive; you will have water droplets fall on you so dress appropriately! Definitely worth the drive from San Antonio!

This place is amazing. First of all this is our first visit to a cavern. It's an awesome experience. There are two tours, Discovery and Hidden Passages. Both tours are guided by knowledgeable tour guide. Each tour is 45-60 minutes long. The limestone formations and their sheer size is out of this world. This is one of the few live... More

If you a person who admires the beauty in nature and its creations this is one of the places to be. Well maintained and preserved place. The tours are a good way to learn about the process these formations are developed over hundreds of thousands of years. Great place to take pictures if you love taking pictures....
