The caverns are so beautiful to look at! I love the light show at the end and how we got to stay in certain spots to soak in the views a little longer. It is very humid but not hot. I brought a small electric fan for when it was a little too humid and it worked wonders! I highly recommend this tour! The gift shop also had a lot of fun stuff and great prices!
We visited the Hidden Caverns tour first, part of the Combo ticket package. The caverns were amazing, great to see, and well worth going for. It took just over an hour to go through the Hidden Caverns tour. Our guide was excellent and knew lots of stuff about the caverns and the number of people doing the tour was less than the Discovery Caverns tour we did next. We all had a great time seeing the caverns that have developed over millions of years! The kids enjoyed the light show at the end as well. Definitely recommend visiting, and doing the Combo tour.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and very interactive. She knew what she was talking about and made sure everyone was able to hear her and have a good time. The cavern was very cool and would highly recommend booking in advance and going to explore it.
It is a beautiful cave. We appreciate Angie our tour guide. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the cave.
Fantastic views of the caverns and the lighting! Easy to walk down the steps as long as one is careful! The formations are preserved well! We went on a rainy day and still it was a perfect trip. It was a bit far from the city so plan for a day trip.
Really good experience the explanation and the details of how everything is made inside the cave was excellent.
Great information and presentation by staff. We couldn’t do this tour on our last visit and it was worth the wait. While a lot of it is similar to the other caverns, there is also a uniqueness in it’s presentation alongside its backstory.
Going inside a cave was an extraordinary experience. Seeing how cave look in person, but it’s will be wet down there, so be prepared.
Tonster, we couldn't be happier to have been a part of your first cave experience! We might be biased, but we absolutely agree that it is extraordinary. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and helping us keep safety a top priority with your reminder to be prepared for moisture on our tours. Good footwear and small steps are key when touring our living caves! We hope to see you again for our Discovery Cavern Tour the next time you're craving adventure!
This is a great place to take the family. The cave tour was very informative and interesting. Our guide was very good. I'm 65 and took my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter. The youngest of our group was 12. We also stopped at the restaurant for drinks and tubes of different tasting honey. Then we "mined for gems", which the kids really enjoyed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to spend the day.
Laura, we appreciate your kind words! Natural Bridge Caverns is a family-owned business, and we are honored your family chose to spend the day together with us. We strive to offer something for everyone, and we're glad your family enjoyed everything from your tour to our sluice (gem mining) to our restaurant. If you are in our area again, we hope you'll keep our Discovery Cavern Tour in mind for another fun-filled day!
I've been to NBC many times but not since this new tour opened. Rally nice formations and the guide was very knowledgeable. Most of the walking is downhill, then you take a conveyor system out so it's an easy walk. I went on the first tour of the day on a Thursday and we were the only ones on the tour. It's a little pricey but worth it - and shop online for coupons. On the other hand, they work hard to pry extra money out of you while you are there. Right off the bat they want $10 to park the car. The concession stand and the gift shop are not just overpriced, they are insanely overpriced. Bring a couple of bottles of water (you can take them into the caverns) and pack your own lunch before heading out. The parking is on the honor system and I might not have been very honorable that day. We really weren't interested in a lot of the kid-friendly activities like the climbing ropes or gem mining - for an extra price.
