this was a great place to take a family. The cave is very small and you go in one way and come out the same way. It doesn't take long at all but it's still really cool to see. We got the package that included everything and I think this was the best choice because otherwise you'd be in and out in no time. My daughter liked the smash room and I really liked the ax throwing getting the gems was a bonus. All in all it doesn't take that long to go through but if you take your time it's enjoyable. The staff working there was great. They helped us with ideas of things to do in Arkansas as we were visiting for the weekend. They were patient and attentive, helping us one on one with each step of the way.

This cave was amazing. Our family has been in countless caves around the country but it is one of the only caves that is self guided. Great tour! My kids loved it and the gem panning! It was the highlight of the trip. Just the drive out to the cave and then the gift shop was amazing with affordable prices. The price was half of the cost of the other local caves. We highly recommend it and will go back.

We absolutely loved our visit to Onyx Cave! There are several different activities to do here and we did them all. We started with the self guided Cave Tour which was amazing! Then we headed over to the axe throwing (I won). Afterwards we did the smash room which is a great way to let out some frustration! Last, we did the gem mining. I think it was around $70 each but that included all those activities. We had an absolute blast and would love to visit again!

Was a nice self guided tour for the money. They offered for like 6 dollars more to have a tour guide meet you at the end and take you more places and talk about the cave more. We spent the extra money and it was worth every penny. The guide we had was extremely passionate about the cave. It made the experience so much better with him. Having more access to other spaces in the cave was great too. If the guide at the end wasn’t so good I probably would not have spent the time to leave this review. It is worth my time to leave the feedback on him.

Interesting cave and the narrative was good, just follow the directions and you will stay in sync with the narrative. We took the self guided tour with the guide at the end who provided a lot more information. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and willing to answer any questions. People working at the desk were also very nice. Nice little shop. Make sure you have a coin to toss in the wishing well. Other activities on site that we did not participate in.

Excellent adventure. Our family enjoyed the tour. The best part was the additional guided tour with James. He was so great at teaching the kids the history of the cave and his excitement of exploring the caves. Such a good family experience and one we won’t forget.

This is a little hidden gem. You tour the cave on your own with audio. You can take your time and take as many pictures as you want. We done the audio tour as well as the behind the scenes tour. It’s definitely worth the extra $6. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything in the cave. I would definitely recommend!

Husband and I went first thing in the morning on a Tuesday and had the place to ourselves for our tour. We liked the self-guided tour with the headphones. There were some great formations and good places for photos. It was a fairly short tour, perfect length for anyone who is a little nervous about being underground. There is one spot where you need to duck your head for about five feet but nowhere that you feel squeezed. I am pretty claustrophobic but had no anxiety at all. The staff were pleasant and helpful and there are also two cats in the gift shop, always a plus!
