Why would I say this isn't for everyone, because I feel it is important to let you know before you spend the money (which isn't that much) to get into the caverns you should know some things. If you are a larger person, say over 250 lbs, you might find it difficult. Some passages are very narrow. Also, walking may... More

Ok, it really is amazing that the stalagmites and stalactites grow under the earth, but how they put it on display was SO corny. Light hinders growth of the stalagmites and stalactites, so you walk through the dark until the tour guide stops and lights up a display in a rainbow of colors. It just seemed a little corny, like...

Forbidden Caverns was an enjoyable experience and a nice alternative to shows and shopping. The cave is chilly so bring a jacket. Sturdy shoes are a must since the trail is uneven and wet. I would not recommend this for small children as they may not be able to manuever the trail on their own. There are areas of the... More

I went here on April 3rd, 2013. I went down into the cavern listened to the guide talk about complete darkness and bats and then I went back up the ramp and to the gift shop! The nice lady at the register gave me my money back and didn't make me feel like a loser for being scared! My Parents... More

The tour was simply amazing. The views were fantastic, the information was both historical and scientific. The tour guide (Tyler) was funny and extremely courteous. He made it an absolute blast for my kids and me and my husband.

Nice, comfortable walk through very interesting caverns. Amazing what Mother Nature can make. Saw a few little bats. Tour guide said it would be moderate exertion, but actually was an easy walk with a few steps to go up and down. Would not be good if your claustrophobic!

My nephew cried the whole time because it was wet and dark. They would not let us leave through the exit so he had to go the whole way through.

Perfect short tour for cave lovers. The tour info is light and not scientific, but the views are beautiful.
