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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

After several picnics around the Beaver Lake, we decided to try something different. War Eagle Cavern was the perfect choice. It's a leveled walk (unlike the cavern in the Silver Dollar City of Branson), and even small kids enjoyed in our group. Joanne, our guide, was brilliant: full of knowledge (like a geology teacher), considerate, and delightful. The cafe, however, was closed, not that we needed anything from there. We will bring our grand kids.

We visited on a whim and were glad we did. The cavern tour was excellent. Our guide Adam was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time making sure children in the group were entertained. Bonus, the views of Beaver Lake are spectacular. There are also hiking trails in the area for the more athletic tourists. Private attractions can be hit or miss. This one was good.

The best part is to learn about all the cool facts, feeling the rocks close up and the anticipation to see bats! Going through the narrow passages, getting to see water droplets through the cracks high up. Very detail oriented and personalized tour with a great tour guide Adam. Highly suggest feeding the fish in the lake as well. Really cool place to visit for a great experience in the Ozark.
