Rad was our tour guide and because we got there at 5pm it was only our family on the tour which was great because it was personal and we weren't rushed. He was very informative and did a great job explaining everything to us. The cavern was awesome, I have never been in one before so I am glad this... More

A great place to take the family. The tour is incredible but even if you never make the tour, the kids will have a ball. There are mazes, and panning for gyms. The shopping is great as well. Tons of cool stuff. A hidden jewel in Reeds Spring, MO. More

Glad we went the tour guide was great and although not a large cave it was worth the trip to go. Read several post on this site about cave being to narrow for larger person. Im 6'4 325 lbs and had no trouble getting through cave. Nature trail and mini gold looked fun but it was raining while we were... More

I really enjoyed the cave. Yes it costs us about $40 for me, my husband and son to go in but it was worth it to see the beautiful formations. I am very afraid of heights and I was a little "unnerved" about the first 50 steps. You go down 165 steps and back up 110 so there is a... More

We really enjoyed this cave tour. The formations were beautiful. Our favorite was the "bacon" formations. The highlight of the tour was at the end when we got on the level surface at the bottom, our guide turned out the lights and held up a lighter to show us what it was like for the original explorers that discovered the...

Yes, it's pricey, but the caves are beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable. The history of the cave is also fascinating. If you love nature (or Branson's little bit of phoniness has made you crave some nature), this tour is definitely worth it. There are a *lot* of (wet) steps on the tour and several tight squeezes ("turn sideways",... More

Different from many cave tours where you walk cavern to cavern through passages, Talking Rocks is one large cavern, and the tour is vertical. During the 50 minute tour, you navigate down more than 170 stairs (and back up, of course), but not all at once. The stairs take many twists and turns, and you have to squeeze around and... More

If you enjoy caverns then you will definitely enjoy this one. It is not the largest cavern I've ever been in; however, it is one of the most beautiful with some very fascinating speleothems (cave formations). More
