    You should go...if you like caves...
    I love to go to caves, and this one was fun and interesting. Our guide who had done several years of tours was interesting and was easy to understand. It was a hike down to the cave, that was easy, but the hike back out was a bit of a challenge. But not to the point that I was unhappy I went. If you have some time, you should stop in...that is if you like caves, bats, and hiking...

    Fun cavern tour
    This cavern is worth stopping at and the tour took about an hour. Our tour guide Shandy was excellent and we learned a lot about the area. There is a bit of a climb to get back, but there are resting benches. Highly recommend!

    Neat cavern and battery change
    We went to the cavern on 11.9 for the 11 am tour with Shandy. The grounds and setting are perfect for a local sightseeing spot. We enjoyed the vibe and the family atmosphere. The walking tour of the cavern was fun and interesting. We found our guide to be a bit unsure of herself at times, perhaps new to the role. When the guide decided to change batteries in the cavern, dropping one and my son located in under a rock, it gave me pause for our safety. We suggest having a small light with you as times it was very dark, and we have good vision. Nice natural wonder to enjoy.

Adam was the tour guide, he was very informative about everything about the cave, about the bats, about the river water levels in there. Absolutely a wonderful tour. Hats off to him. Congratulations. He did a good job. I would recommend this to anyone in this area to go and experience the cave, and the stories about the movies that were made in there and the Famous people that have visited there. Absolutely a must see in northwest Arkansas.

We took this tour on a rainy day when the mountain biking trails were closed. So glad we did! The tour guide, Lance, exceeded our expectations with his care and knowledge of the geography, wildlife, and native peoples. Thank you Lance! We were lucky enough to even see some bats. We would definitely recommend to a family or adventurous/curious group of friends like us. The “lights out” experience was our favorite part :)

Our tour guide was Adam and he was very knowledgeable and answered all questions those in the group had. He even provided verbal quizzes for the young ones to participate and help engage their thinking. The cave itself isn't very steep, but the walk to and from the cave is. So be prepared for that. They do offer spelunking tours for those 12 and up. On site you can feed the fish off of the river, go through a wooden maze to find the five Indian tribes hidden within, and explore the Mystery Moonshine shack. You are encouraged to take photos and videos of everything unlike most other places. Tour times may very depending on the season and rainfall levels. My mother who is in her early 50's is overweight and in poor health was able to do this. Granted we took our time and rested every so often we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

I am sorry but Onyx cave was so much better. They let dogs go on the tours and I am a dog lover but when your dog can quit whining or barking, well it ruined the tour. We couldn't hear the guide and the people with the dogs were almost as loud as the dog and of course they had to be near the guide. And we had three HUGE dogs on our tour! They stunk worse than the bat poop! We did see a couple of bats fly around. It cost extra if you want to see stalactite's or stalagmites and I don't know of any other cave that does that. Was disappointed in the whole thing. But that is just me. Maybe I expected too much.

Our tour guide, Adam, was astonishing. He knew so much about the cave and the kids enjoyed his tour. The water falls inside the cave were pretty magnificent. It was great going in the middle of summer, because the cave was a cool, about 55 degrees. The moonshiners mystery shack was a tipped over house with optical illusions with various activities. The lost in the woods maze was also fun. You have to find five lost tribes that when found you punch a hole in your ticket. Time from the start so you can brag about your time.

Very beautiful place! The cavern is nice and cool. Our guide Adam was very informative and engaging. He was very interactive with my 3 year old grandchild and my 13 year old great niece as well as everyone else.

I asked the tour guide about White Nose Syndrome, a condition killing hundreds of thousands of bats. He said it was not affecting the bats in Arkansas because it did not get cold enough in their state. When I when home I looked this up and found it to be a lie. It seems like privately run caves think only about money. All he had to do is say yes, it is present. Also the cave was not as nice/interesting as Cosmic Caverns and seemed overpriced.

While visiting Eureka Springs my husband and I decided to take a tour of one of the local caves. Our tour guide, Lance, made the experience exceptional. He was personable, knowledgeable, witty, patient and we could tell he enjoyed his job. He made the visit worth the price of admission. Great place to enjoy the area. Just a note of caution... walkways can be steep and challenging for some.

We stopped here during our spring break trip and had a very interesting tour with Lance who knew so much about the area. Beautiful area to walk around and we would’ve stayed longer had it not been for rain. It kept the interest of the kids and teens and was a great activity for them to appreciate the beauty of the area. The kids enjoyed the maze and moonshine house but I’d probably skip those on a hot day.

We went on a cavern tour today.

We had Lance as our tour guide, and he did an excellent job. He kept everyone interested with facts about the cave, and history about the area.

The tour starts up by the gift shop, which is also where you pick up paper tickets. I booked our tour in advance online, due to Covid.

First the tour guide walked us down to the cave. It’s downhill, paved, and relatively easy. The view of the lake outlet is beautiful.

The actual cavern tour is quite easy, mostly level on a paved path, with only a few steps to look up into a little room (optional). There a few spots where you have to duck, and a few puddles on the walkway.

There’s a creek that runs through the cavern that’s quite pretty. There’s a small waterfall, and a little pond at the end of the tour. You really don’t see much of the cavern; nor does it have anything truly amazing in it, but due to the history of the cavern I still felt it was very much worth it.

After the guided tour, you can feed the large carp and turtles in the lake outlet (bring quarters for machine). The water is very clear and almost green in color; it’s very picturesque. The walk back up to the gift shop is a bit of a trudge if you’re out of shape, like myself. There are benches to rest on during the walk up.

The gift shop was nice, with a decent variety.
