Guide was very knowledgable and the kids were amazed. We had three kids between 5 and 10, all managed it very well. Make sure you get a lighthouse and cave ticket and save some money, as it can be a bit expensive. More

Definitely visit! We took the kids here and they loved it too. Buy an Ultimate Pass for the family from Caveworks at Lake Cave for $160 and get access to Lake, Mammoth and Jewel Caves as well as Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. Great value. More
