We took both the tours.... Discovery and Hidden passages... Totally worth the time and money... Your guides were amazing in explaining stuff in simple terms and gave us ample time for pictures .... Formations were out of the world...

My wife and I took a day trip to the Natural Bridge Caverns for a thrilling experience on the Canopy Challenge and Zipline. Started off with the Zipline. Nice and easy. Built trust in the equipment. The Canopy Challenge had four levels of adventure. It is your choice from easy to difficult. All where a pleasure and exciting. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I did the Canopy Challenge and Zipline for a date last weekend. I am a little uncomfortable around heights, but I quickly overcame my fear. It was SUPER FUN! We did the zipline first. It's six stories off the ground. I was afraid to go at first. But, it's actually very tame and actually relaxing. Like a... More

This is something that I did back when I was in the 6th grade and had very little memory of. I am now 25. I decided to go back when my boyfriend was visiting from Cali. It was really neat and we both really enjoyed the experience. We went with another couple and they both experienced a little anxiety, which... More

The guided tour is very interesting. You will go far underneath the earth and see huge crystal formations. If you've never walked in caverns full of stalagmites and stalactites before, this will be a unique and enjoyable experience.

The caverns are very nice with good sidewalks and lights. We took lots of photos and spent several hours walking around. The place was not too busy and we had a good time. Next door is an animal park that you drive and look at the animals. Place to eat, food to feed the animals and nice paved roads. Very... More

These caverns are really cool, I had never been in anything like this and wasn't sure I'd handle being underground that deep, but it was so neat, I wasn't even bothered by the 'closeness' of the cave. The scenery was worth the trip!

Great trip for families and couples alike! Very interesting and worth the money! We went on the discovery tour and loved it. Don;t do this tour if you have health problems, it is strenuous and will wear you out.

Surprised by how warm and steep the caverns were. Enjoyed our time with the family. Snack bar personnel could be a little more friendly and greet with a smile. We got a popcorn to share with a water and they seemed bothered with our order. However, it was Fiesta Week and they could have been tired from the crowds.
