Wookey Hole was expensive, £40 for 2 adults & one 3 year old (our 10 month old was free). The caves were very scary for a 3 year old, and the ceilings are very low. The other part of the attraction was ok, but not very interacive, and was a bit of a rip off for how much there is... More

We visited using Tesco vouchers but had we paid full price with real money we would have been very disappointed, the tour of the caves itself is very good but way too short, other than the tour there is very little to do and if you are there more than 3 hours from when you park the car you really...

I have limited mobility and recently visited Wookey Hole Caves, I found the staff very helpful and pointed out concessions at the pay point as I was unable to visit the caves. There are also concessions for carers, plenty of toilet facilities, there was a virtual tour to enjoy as I was not able to enter the caves. There is... More

Came here end of April 2012 after buying the Groupon voucher! If I had paid full price I would have been very very disappointed! We were there for a max of 3 hours (50 mins of that was lunch!) Caves are good but not as good as Cheddar Gorge. The tour guide in the caves had good knowlodge but we... More

£49 for a family ticket for four does initially sound expensive when you're trying to live to a budget, but a visit to Wookey Hole Caves is well worth it for what you get! Myself, hubby, 5yr old & 3yr old did the cave tour with a tour guide who thought he was a bit of a comedian but should... More

We visited Wookey Hole recently as it had been recommended to us and as such we were looking forward to a fun filled day. We had a leaflet which listed everything there and as such suggested that there was a lot to do. We arrived just in time for the tour of the caves which you have to do with... More

Visited because we had a Groupon voucher. Very glad we paid £25 rather than the £49 it would have cost for a family. Not great value for money at all. I was really excited as had been as a child and remembered really enjoying it. Bit disappointed! We arrived early just as it opened (10am) and had to wait 15... More
