  • 10/10 would recommend to anyone! The caverns are amazing and the commentary from our tour guide was fantastic. This was the last stop on a mini road trip for us and we were so impressed by the experience. It's beautiful. Our tour was thankfully very small (9 of us) but other tours passing us was very large and the guide said they go up to 36 people per group. We just happened to be lucky, but keep that in mind. We went on a random Wednesday afternoon at 245 pm and was very happy with the small group. If you're anywhere near here, it's worth the stop. Oh, its very cold, bring something warm.
  • Wow, amazing experience for all the family members, from little ones to seniors. All the great staff were super friendly and professional. The motel was great, super clean, and very comfortable. It has a beautiful pool that you will enjoy after a long day traveling. The tour staff were super professional and knowledgeable. We’ll come back with more friends.
