This place will make you feel like you’re out of this world. And it’s only 25 minutes away from Rock city garden! - I feel like this place is definitely underrated and not talked about enough! The tour is about a hour long, less crowded than ruby falls and we literally had the whole cave to ourselves. Our tour guide Lilith was very funny, knowledgeable and the best tour guide we could ask for! Definitely recommend you check it out.

Fun and educational adventure - Wonderful experience! The pictures are absolutely what you get, not over hyped. It’s beautiful and our guide Timothy made the experience fun and enjoyable. Plenty of useful information and history along with humor to keep it fun along the way.

HIGHLY recommend this adventure! - What an experience!!! Took my two early teens and all three of us loved it! Corey was super knowledgeable and was kind to take all of the questions our group of 12 had. He was patient with the children’s questions too. Would HIGHLY recommend! My kids enjoyed the gem panning afterwards too!

We caved, we crawled, we conquered! - The Wild Cave Crawl experience. This was hands-down the most fun and exciting thing we did on our vacation! My 9-yr-old son and I did the 2 hr cave crawl, and it was amazing. Would 100% recommend!! I want to go back and do one of the longer crawls.

10/10 Recommend! - We went to three cavern tours on our trip to the area, and this one was by far our favorite. Not only was our guide, Timothy, one of the most knowledgable and enthusiastic guides, but the cave was stunning and every bit alive. A must-do if you’re in this part of the country. And 100% ask for guide Timothy!!!
