Just finished a "wild tour" with my son. We were both new to caving so the expereince was good and I definitely recommend it, but with a couple of cautions: 1) the tour guide is a crapshoot: you may get someone animated or you may get someone who is not very animated. Expect the worst and maybe you'll luck out.... more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If your vacationing in the Chattanooga area, Raccoon Mountain Caverns (RMC) should be on your to do list. Now, If your wanting a leisurely walk thru cave tour you may try Ruby Falls and RMC offers a beautiful walk through tour also, but, if your looking for a True Family Friendly “Adventure”. I highly recommend a “Wild” tour... more

MANY years ago, I used to do a bit of spelunking in north Georgia and decided that while vacationing with friends it was time to introduce the 8-year-old twins to the experience. The girl and her mom did the "show cave" tour and the lad and I did the "Eco-tour" wild-cave. I've been behind a desk for too long and... more

My husband and I went last May on the "Fossil Crawl" tour - a wild cave expedition that was about 2 1/2 hours, I think. We were on a trip to celebrate our 15th anniversary, so we didn't have the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and had no complaints whatsoever! We are now making our plans for our family... more

I just got back from taking a group of 39 on the Overnight Expedition which included the 4 hour Echo Room Expedition of the wild cave. In our group we had 21 children ranging in age from 6 to 14. I stopped by here in the spring of '08 for information and noticed on this trip that they have since... more

This cave was the best ever. Before touring this cave we had went to Ruby Falls and Rock City and by far this cave kicked butt. The others were way over rated. The need to advertise this a lot more. Our tour guide was excellent and didn't rush through like Ruby Falls. This cave was also more real and not... more

This was our first cave tour, so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm not big on having tour guides and that's probably how most of these caves are. We just did the Crystal Cave tour, which was the basic tour about 45 min long. It was just our family of 4 on the tour. Our tour guide was... more

My wife and I went to the cavern really unsure of what to expect. It was fantastic. We did the "Waterfall Dome Tour" which is one of their WildCave tours with a guide. The tour lasted 3-4 hours and it was just the two of us and our guide. He was very friendly, knowledgable, and very chill and laid back.... more

I toured the cavern with 2 other adults and 3 children under the age of six. We were the only people in our group and essentially received a personal guided tour. Our guide was phenomenal. He had so much humor, personality and most of all knowledge. The cave is gorgeous and preserved so well. It is definitely easily accessible and... more
