On the smaller side of the caverns I've visited in Virginia, but still nice. It had just rained for many days before we went so there was a lot of water dripping, but no flooding. The tour guide was friendly and made lots of jokes.
Cool little cave tour. The cave is a little dark and wet, but I really liked the more "raw" view the tour gave. Went on a busy holiday weekend, but the guide was very accommodating to the larger group, making sure each person who wanted to see the little details could. The guides have a great sense of humor, so that was definitely a plus.
While our tour guide was awesome the tour was anything but. I counted up to 30 people in our group and it's a small cave so it made for an uncomfortable experience. We didn't really see much other than the backs of people's heads and the few changes we got a clear view of any formations felt rushed due to the size of our group.
The gf and I just got done touring Natural Bridge when we ran across this venue on our way to Lexington. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was concerned for everyone's safety as we walked the caverns. After being out in the heat in the morning and early afternoon, the cool 54° temperatures were a relief. It'd been a while since I had toured some caverns, and it was very interesting.
Loved it! Sean was our guide and you could tell he was very passionate and knowledgeable about the caverns! I enjoyed the tour and saw cute salamanders and neat formations!
There are a lot of caverns dotted throughout the Virginia landscape we happened to stop by this one on our travels it was a nice little detour to come and see the caverns lots of nice formations and a small little underground water pond be sure to use the handrails there are a lot of slippery spots in this cave but that's to be expected definitely wasn't too cold the tour guide was well knowledgeable provided answers to the questions that were presented if you're in the area that's a nice little place to stop by
It was a well guided tour and bring a jacket if you get cold easily. You have to wait for the next batch. From my experience it was every 30mins. We arrived 15mins before the next batch and you have time to check their shop and buy some gemstones.
Such a cool experience. Do the cave tour. We had a great guy who inserted a lot of humor. The only thing I didn’t like was when they made it totally dark when we were deep in there. They always do that and it makes my anxiety go off the chart. Still giving it 5 stars. It’s only like 2 minutes of darkness and the formations are so cool and even wilder is the story behind how they were discovered.
I was worried that the $20 ticket wouldn’t be worth it but I was very pleasantly surprised! I was with one friend and besides us it was only our tour guide. Tours are once an hour but if you plan to visit make sure there isn’t a school group at the time you want to go. The caverns themselves are super cool and fascinating even as an adult.
Great little roadside attraction. If you have never been in a cavern, this is a great starter. The guides are fabulous and informative with a nice sense of corny humor. It is a cave so watch your head and step. This cavern will make you want to explore some of the more extensive caverns that spread throughout the United States.
Nice little gift shop with interesting items to keep you entertained while waiting on your tour to begin.

This was an awesome experience! Our guide, Cameron, was informative but also kept the tour interesting. Like others have said, bring a jacket and good shoes for the cavern. You can hike 1/4 mile to the natural cave entrance before or after the tour. There is also a 2 mile moderate hike through the woods (Buck Hill Trail). Tours are on the hour, so no wait time if you plan accordingly. Cute gift shop. $42 total entrance fee for two adults.
Our tour guide was excellent. The caves were amazing. My daughter did learn she was slightly claustrophobic in the caves but she decided to power on through and says she doesn't regret any of it. This is absolutely worth the hour of climbing and ducking it takes to maneuver through.
Well worth the entry fee. The tours run 45-60 minutes. My guide was very friendly and well-informed. He was eager to answer questions and clearly enjoyed his job. I like caves and had a very good time.
The tour guide here was very careless. She was uninformative and not well prepared. I had a elderly family member fall and hurt themselves on the stairs twice, to which the tour guide stood across at the bottom, didn’t bother checking, walking over, or even seeing what happened nor showed any amount of care. When the other people in our very small group had to help my family member, she just stood back and made a joke. When a few of us stayed back to assist my family member, the tour guide walked way ahead of us, with no care her group was way behind. There isn’t too much too interesting either.
Went on 1st tour early was best. Cameron was Fantastic guide. Thanks. The cave was beautiful. Wear good shoes and a light jacket. Moderate walk, slippery but lots of handrails to hold on
