It is very slippery in some spots, so wear good walking shoes. Also, if you have asthma it may be a little hard to breathe. Remember a jacket, it's cool all the time in the caverns. We are from the area, and will probably visit again if we are going with an out-of-towner. My kids, aged 6 and 9, found... More

We decided to make the most of a rainy day and visit this attraction. We loved it. Our guide, Melinda, was excellent. She was very informative and made the tour fun. It is easy to get to on a nice scenic country road. Take at least a lightweight jacket - it's always 58 degrees in the cavern. There are $1... More

On a recent trip to the gatlinburg/pigeon forge area with my best friend, we decided to try some things off the beaten path of money trap attractions. We came across forbidden caverns and decided to check it out. It is a short drive out in the country, but it is well marked with signs and a very scenic drive. By... More

but maybe because I've been to Luray Caverns in VA (only thing I have to compare it to) it wasn't as grand as I had anticipated. Still well worth the time and $, guide was nice. Terrain may seem challenging to some. I wasn't a fan of the light shows on the tour but that was just me, everyone else... More

I was truly impressed with our tour of the Forbidden Caverns. To be 600 ft below ground and viewing all that geological wonder was mindblowing. More

With all the man made attactions, go carts, bungee jumping, shopping, shows, etc I was looking for a natural attraction for the family. We found a good one at Forbidden Caverns. The tour was an hour long and 1/2 mile in distance. It was not strenous at all. The cost was $14 per adult and $8 for children. This price... More

We visited Forbidden Caverns on a trip to Pigeon Forge. It took about 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge/Sevierville out to the caverns. The tour takes an hour, and leaves each hour on the hour with the last tour of the day leaving at 5PM. Zach was our tour guide and did a great job. The caverns are beautiful and full... More
