Thank you for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour with Arik. He definitely knows his rocks and has a talent for making geology fun and memorable. We're glad you had a great time creating your rock souvenir and that the tour was worth the money.
As for the gorilla wrestling... we'll have to investigate that one with Arik! 😄 Thanks for visiting Colossal Cave, and we hope to see you again for another adventure underground!

A fun adventure.
After living in Tucson only 5 miles from this attraction for 9 years, moving away and moving back recently, we finally took the plunge and did the tour.
It’s expensive but everything is these days and we have to pick and choose. Worth it!
Our guide, Noah, was very knowledgeable, reassuring (it’s a deep cave!) and especially funny. (Though, Noah, I have an issue with calling what the bats could do to us as “going to the bathroom”. Defecating or excreting works.) There is a pervasive musky guano smell but it wasn’t strong and I didn’t mind it.
So yes, guano happens, though we only saw 2 bats flying briefly and no “wetness from above”.
There are lots of native stone stairs built by the CCC in 1934. No OSHA then so wear sturdy shoes and hold the hand rails. The lighting is better than expected. Overall, mildly challenging physically for this mostly healthy senior.
The “stalacmeet” columns made up of stalactites and stalagmites meeting is so interesting. You also get to make different tones on some columns of the calcium carbonate with your fist for one and a small tool for others. Fun.
The history includes cowboy train robbers hiding with their loot in it and the man who founded it moving his family down into the cave along with furniture and necessities for the torrid Sonoran Desert summers.
It gets busiest in fall to spring when the snow birds come. Since we live here we took advantage of the lull in early September. From buying tickets on-line to completing the tour, perfectly stream-lined. Nice gift shop is the original stone house too.

Thank you, Rhoda, for finally taking the plunge and visiting us after all these years! We're delighted to hear that your experience was worth the wait and that Noah helped make your tour both informative and entertaining. We'll be sure to pass along your feedback, including your preferred terminology regarding bat guano!
We appreciate your thoughtful observations about the cave's natural features, CCC-built stairways, fascinating history, and the unique opportunity to "play" some of the cave formations. It's wonderful to hear that you found the tour manageable and enjoyable, and that the lighting, online ticketing process, and gift shop all added to a positive experience.
Thank you for sharing your humor and insights with future visitors. We hope you'll come back and visit again during a different season to experience another side of Colossal Cave. Safe travels, and we're glad you took advantage of the quieter September season!
Warm Regards,
Christina Canez

We ate cave spiders
Had an absolutely amazing time here! Our tour guide was Eric, he was extremely knowledgeable. He taught us how to effectively hunt and eat cave spiders. We were down there for three months!

Well-maintained
We had unexpected super fun. Our guide was not only funny but full of interesting facts. The cave itself is very well maintained and lighted. We went for a couple’s weekend and it was great, but I can also see it appropriate for young families.

You'll rave abou his cave.
First time in 20 years and this tour still rocks. Guide Everett is wicked awesome. A well-organized activity. Includes cafe (Prickly Pear ice cream is a MUSt!), gift shop with super friendly staff, good parking, great views, outdoor shaded seating, and, of course, the cave. Everett was informative as well as entertaining. Some parts of the tour are tight, but it's very safe and very interesting. Great for a hot day activity because it stays 71 in the cave. Fascinating rock formations. We got Prickly Pear ice cream in waffle cones, and a pretzel, which was the size of a dinner plate. Very well run all around. An activity for everyone. We chose the classic tour, just under 60 minutes.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Colossal Cave still "rocks" after 20 years and that Everett made your visit both informative and entertaining.
We're glad you enjoyed the Classic Tour, the fascinating cave formations, and the comfortable 71° temperature underground. It's also great to hear that the Prickly Pear ice cream, giant pretzel, scenic views, and shaded seating helped make your day even more enjoyable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Everett and our café, gift shop, and visitor services teams. They work hard to create a memorable experience for every guest.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope it won't be another 20 years before we welcome you back to Colossal Cave for another adventure!

Marriage Saved at Colossla Cave
I was a little nervous going into this tour, as my wife told me she would be leaving me as soon as we got finished. However, after the wise words and sage advice of our guide Arik, it’s safe to say my marriage is saved. We weren’t the only ones either. When one of the other guests was attacked by a cave creature, Arik (who was bitten by a radioactive bat as a child) spread his wings and swooped in to selflessly rescue her. We’ll definitely be back with our kids, as they definitely need a role model like Arik.

Thank you for the laugh and for sharing your adventure with us! We're thrilled to hear that Arik's legendary wisdom helped save the day, and apparently a marriage too. While we can't officially confirm the story about the radioactive bat, we can say that Arik has a knack for making every tour memorable.
We're especially glad he was there to protect the group from any and all cave creatures lurking in the shadows. His bravery, quick thinking, and larger-than-life personality are just a few reasons our guests love touring with him.
We truly appreciate your kind words and sense of humor. We look forward to welcoming you and your kids back to Colossal Cave someday. If they're looking for a role model with a talent for storytelling and a flair for adventure, Arik is certainly a great place to start!
Thanks again for visiting, and remember: not all heroes wear capes... some carry flashlights.
