All cave tours are simply... well... looking at rocks with a guide. If you don't enjoy this, don't go. I'm personally very interested in geology, and enjoy learning a little about it while enjoying the beauty of the natural formations. I've been on many cave tours, and this has been one of my simple favorites. Why? The tour isn't ridiculously... More

In the middle ofone of the most beautiful places in Colorado, the USA and the world, you reallly don't need artificial stimulation like this money trap. It would be great to be able to take a tour of the Fairy Caves without all the other circus like activities to go with it. The cost is over the top expensive, and... More

The cave formations are interesting, but not world-class like Carlsbad Caverns. The views are lovely -- the whole valley and distant ski areas are visible. I... More

The Fairy cave was pretty neat. We opted for the walking cave tour. My family and I travel around the United States and have seen caves in Hawaii, Arizona and Colorado. This is the best cave we have seen in Colorado. It's just long enough to keep the kids interested, but not too long (about 70 minutes). Our tour guide,... More
