A 45 minute to one hour walk through caverns. Self guided tour, you read the information on plaques.
This is a good place to take primary school (and older) kids if they don’t tend to run around (lots of steps and railings would not prevent them from get of trail.
Not handicap accessible due to narrow walkways and lots of steps. If you could not climb several flights of stairs, you would not enjoy this cavern.
The price, compared to others we have visited, was very reasonable and because we had my son (college student) with us, we all got a discount.
This is a great stop if traveling I-64. Stop in Lewisburg for a bite and the caverns are a few minutes from the exit.response / report this review -

Best place to go if you are looking for spontaneous activity. The place is clean and the people are nice. I highly recommend going there if you are in the area!

Really great place. The cave was way bigger than I expected. The paths were good and the signs explaining the formations were great. It was well lit so you can see everything better. Pictures can't capture the beauty your eyes will see.

This place was a lot of fun! The only thing that made me take it down to 4 stars is the fact that the stone formations aren't protected very well and years of oily tourist fingers have made them dirty. All the other caves I've visited had strict rules about not touching anything in the cave.
Otherwise, this place is really cool. The pathways are clearly marked and the spectacular formations are well lit.
Some older folks or those with disabilities may have a little difficulty navigating it due to the narrowness of the walkways and the abundance of stairs. I wouldn't recommend this for children under the age of 5 for the same reasons.
The gift shop is nice and reasonably priced. And the outside is pretty and nicely landscaped.response / report this review -

The owners are very accommodating with large tour groups. Very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Even the staff is well informed, and if they don't know an answer to a question, they will find someone who does.
Great selection of minerals, other gifts, and toys for sale for both families and individuals passing through. They also have a cabinet of brochures for other activities in the area, which is really great for planning the rest of your vacation.
Formations are all very excellent and in a highly concentrated area. It inspires you to want to explore more caves and caverns to see what other kinds of beauty blossom below the Earth's surface.
Outdoor picnic area is plentiful and very scenic. The gravel road is a little disarming, but quaint. Makes you really feel like it's a Lost World you're stumbling into, but it can't be that secluded, because they've got a great music selection in the gift shop!
There's even a collection of fossils and casts of fossils for us science types who like to take a glance back in time when dinosaurs and trilobites lorded over our earthly domain. Great for children and adults. They even have gem mining!response / report this review -

The "over the rails" tour is not for the faint of heart. You WILL be sore the next day. Climbing over rocks, sliding over rocks, walk on slick rocks, squeeze through small holes and crawl through tight tunnels. It's a blast though.

My boyfriend and I went on the wild cave tour and had a blast! I've never done anything like it before, and was a bit worried about going with no experience, but the guides are phenomenal, very helpful and encouraging. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. Awesome time, and we loved the lunch after the trip. Nice place, nice people, all around good time.

Be aware the drive into the cave entrance (about a mile) is rock dust and mud. Your vehicle will need a wash after going there. However the cave has a lot of beautiful formations probably the most I have seen. One cave at Mammoth Cave's may beat its number but it would be very close. I also believe if the lighting was of better quality it could be my number 1 most beautiful Cave.

Awesome tours deep into the cavern, or more casual self guided tours of a magical underground limescale forest

Awesome! The wild cave tour was very physical, very fun and very muddy. Our guide Steve was friendly and knowledgeable. If you can do this, you need to.

The shop is well stocked with fun and unique gifts. As we walked in the staff were happy to help us and tell us about the parts of the cave to notice on our self-guided tour. It took about an hour.
