My big family went to Natural Bridge Caverns as a family trip slash birthday present for my daughter's 13th birthday. We are trying to give my kids more experiences and good memories versus the stuff, stuff, and more stuff we always used to give them.

It is 3 hours away from us on the east side of San Antonio. We don't take a lot of trips just for fun because my not only is my husband is a home body but drives long hours as part of his job and doesn't want to do any more in his off time. So this was a big deal for us.

I booked us the combo tour which gives you the Discovery tour and the Hidden Passages tour, which don't overlap and are in totally different parts of the cavern system. I booked on-line about one month prior which is supposed to give the best price. It was $27.50 for adults (13+) and $18.00 for kids (3-12). The price also depends on the time of year you go. Busy season during the summer is more expensive.

If you like caves, I think you'll love it. All of my kids did. Even the ones scared of the dark and scared of heights. Even the really picky one that thinks everything is boring. They didn't even complain about all the walking and the hundreds of steps. My kids were so excited and blown away. There's nothing like the amazing formations in caves.
