Not good value for money. Especially for a " family attraction" . I can't say I was at all intrested, staff seemed stretched and I would recommend Cheddar gorge any day.

I can't understand the rush hour. I just can't. The cave tour is fascinating, but you have the feeling you are at the London's Marathon. There is time to listen and have a quick look, but not to stare and enjoy the caves (I don't expect to stay a good half day there, but at least 40-50 min could do).... More

The 20-minute cave tour is fascinating indeed, but this is very much the poor brother of nearly Cheddar Gorge. How they can justify the same price is beyond me. After the cave there are a series of "attractions" that only stand out because of how utterly random they are. Half a dozen fairy gnomes, a few life-size model dinosaurs, a... More

sun was shining so we decided on a family day out (6 of us) we tossed a coin over wookey hole or cheddar gorge. wookey hole won it was very expensive to get in (over £100) and for what it was we all felt the price could be lowered, the actual caves were stunning and the guide was very informative...

visited here sunday 5th May. My grandchildren loved this. It was nice not to have to worry about them running off. They stopped and looked at all the attractions. The dinosour park was the best. Will be visiting again soon.

The best bit about this no doubt is the tour of the caves. The story the guides tell is abit cheesey but he was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The lake you come across in the first chamber is stunning ( See photo attached ). There is a few bits you have to duck for, but you are warned of these.... More

So glad we didn't pay full price for this. We had a two for one offer on voucher cloud but still paid nearly £30. The cave visit was good but I couldnt hear the guide3 very well and he seemed a bit bored. On leaving the caves we went passed the dinosaur area. This could have done with a play... More

We visited Wookey Hole a few days ago using a Groupon deal which meant we got in for around £20 for the family. I had visited years ago but only vaguely remembered what was there, so it was quite an experience for us all! Upon arrival at the main gate we had to go and find someone to let us... More

This is a brilliant place for children, lots to keep them entertained. However, quite expensive for a day out.

Went here with friends. Good day out, bit slippery I side caves, but interesting facts throughout and pleasant walk at the end of the tour.
