The caverns were amazing! I've been in many other caves, but had never been in such an active one. Our tour guide was excellent and did a great job pointing out all the formations and giving us a nice history. It was quite warm in there so be sure to dress accordingly. More

Sonora's passages are much narrower than those of other popular tourist caves, making the formations that much more easy to observe and marvel. As a "cave system" it exceeded our experiences at Carlsbad Caverns, Longhorn Caverns and Inner Space Caverns, in the variety of its formations. All tours are guided. Families with young children may encounter a wait which exceeds... More

My husband and I enjoyed it so much we will certainly visit again. This is a place for all the family. More

Our main destination from Austin was Carlsbad Caverns. I found Sonora before leaving and thought it could be a half way point and check out the cavern here. Boy am I glad we didn't skip out on this amazing cave. Unlike many caverns that you can tour Sonora is closed to the open air, so it is warm and very... More

So worth the drive. Take nothing save a camera and go spelunking through the caverns. It was amazing. Prepare for a 70F humid walk through, about 105minutes in length with a few rest stops in just the right places. The guide was knowledgeable and lighthearted. Fantastic. More

I have been to both Carlsbad and Caverns of Sonora twice in the last two years. Carlsbad is huge and spectacular, but is getting dirtier all of the time. Since so little of Carlsbad is living, it is dry and attracts dirt, and a lot of the formations have a black coating on them. Caverns of Sonora, on the other... More

The Sonora Caverns are beautiful in themselves, but the experience was made so much better by the people that work there. I showed up on Sunday while driving through the area for work and decided to go and see what all the buzz was about. I had seen signs on the highway and saw the website while trying to find... More

I think this is the best cavern in Texas. Not too wet, too steep or too long. There was something to see and marvel at around every turn. Wonderful way to spend the day. More
