Wow what a lovely experience! We visited for the Christmas experience tour, so the kids got to go on a journey through the caves and meet Santa. It was very entertaining and worth the money. The tour also included a free mince pie and drink at the end and a couple free entry tickets for January which we'll definitely be using.
The cafe is really nice and enjoyable to sit at, really clean and spacious.

Well organised tour with a very knowledgeable guide. (Quinn). Seemed rather a lot of people in a group, but each family group was kept separate by being allocated markers at each talk point. Very interesting to hear how the caves were formed and then used by animals and humans, and rediscovered many years later.

A fantastic sight in Torquay, which is easily accessible and a must visit for anyone in Torbay. The staff are fantastic and very knowledgeable, and the tour around the caves is fantastic for anyone, regardless of age. I would recommend to anyone visiting or that is local to Torquay.

This is exciting place to visit as you get to see how caves are formed. The guided tour talks about the history of the rocks. However it does get dark in some areas of walk and some rocks are low. It was a good experience.

Amazing place with amazing guides the guide we had was Alfie he had so much time for me and my family. He had an amazing personality and knowledge of the caves. The caves are beautiful and the story's and theorys behind them are spectacular. It's a place you must visit to get the full experience .Was an amazing day out for us.

Great tour, very insightful, very knowledgeable tour guide (Cara), the tour lasted around 45 mins. Inside the actual caves, it's a constant 14c all year round; helpful so you know what to wear!

Good family trip out, 2hrs is about enough. I'd probably say best for 11y/o and under or they might get a little bored. Staff friendly. Parking very convenient and close. Cafe a little pricey. Worth a visit if you on holiday.

Tour guide Amy was excellent, humorous and informative tour targeted perfectly at children and adults alike. Plenty for everyone and clearly knowledgeable. The tour was excellent and they are run frequently so wait times are short and while you wait there is a woodland trail to explore with crafts to do on the way round, an activity to complete for children and spear throwing too.
Really enjoyed this experience, great little cafe and shop onsite. You do have to pay for parking though, but it is worth it.

Tour is long enough to be interesting and hold your attention and not too long for the kids. Good place to visit on a rainy day or a very hot day... Constant temperature in the caves of 24 degrees.

Absolutely fantastic, would definitely recommend a visit to Kent's Cavern, I visited a lot of years ago in the 80's it was brilliant then and I wasn't disappointed this time, anyone visiting won't go away disappointed.

Just as advertised...these are definately caves, and most likely prehistoric (although I'm no expert on the subject)!!
Very enjoyable and worth the visit. All staff very friendly and helpful. Well done to tour guide Alfie, who imparted loads of interesting facts and threw in plenty of humour, numerous corny jokes and a smidge of sarcasm (at the appropriate time of course).

Kent's Cavern should be renamed Kent's Cave....The Blue John mines has a cavern...This is just a group of passages that opens out....Despite the lights mirrors and sound effects.....VERY DISAPPOINTING

We went for a day out here and we were the only ones on the tour so I think we had a better deal as we could ask questions to our hearts content and have a laugh with he guide as I said I'm not PC or offended by things so talk to me like he would his mates rather than a customer. This went down well with the young lad and we had a laugh aswell as him telling us all about the caves. He was very knowledgeable or so I think.....I'm no cave expert so he could have told me anything but he seemed to know his stuff. Before going in we were greeted with other members of staff who were also just as friendly.
I would highly recommend visiting. The tour is about an hour and a half but there is a nature thing there for kids and a 15 minute walk into torquay to spend the rest of the day.
Very interesting place and great staff.

There was a group of us that went and the caves were great.
The only down side for us was that you only walked a few steps before standing around and it was for to long . So altho your in there approx 45 mins per tour 30 mins were stood around.

we visited Kents cavern yesterday and recommend the tour to anyone visiting Torquay.
Mirham our tour guide was extremely professional and it seemed she had so much knowledge about the place. she definitely had a wealth of knowledge andalso knew how to keep us entertained and was witty too. a true asset and a good ambassador to Kents cavern.
i am sure all the other tour guides are very good too ,
keep up the good work...

Was a bit pricey and you go round on a guided tour. Our slot seemed extremely busy and was rather noisy which made it extremely difficult to hear what our guide was saying. Despite this our guide Holly was excellent.

Fantastic place to visit, only discovered it by chance and decided to go. Our tour guide Cara was brilliant, funny, friendly and so informative, we loved the experience. Would definitely recommend a visit. We also went on the Coastal trail walk 2 hours trecking the paths and taking in the spectacular views, ending up back at Kent Caverns.

An interesting cave system with evidence of human activity from thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, they don't let you explore the caves by yourself, and the visit is restricted to a 45-60 minute tour. Our tour guide was friendly and we learned a bit about rocks and cave formations - I now get why stalagmites and stalactites form!

On the downside, the guide was obviously reciting from a script and didn't seem particularly passionate about the subject. At 12 quid a ticket, you'd expect a bit more engagement on this front. The format of the cave probably suits free exploration better than a forced tour, and would be better off allowing visitors free roam, with the option of a guide for a bit extra.

Visited recently as was staying nearby and what with the weather not being great thought I'd take my son to Kents Cavern.Its great if your into History,I found it very boring and quite pricey.Plus the admission prices they have on their website are not what they charge when you actually get there.
