Kents Cavern Ltd Reviews

What a great adventure! Both adult and kids loved it. The tour guide David was brilliant and knew a lot about the caves. He kept kids entertained. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to visit! How much of Torquay has caves underneath?!

It's a great to visit, such an interesting history.

Fantastic experience, the guide (sorry I forgot your name) is like a walking lexicon with a brilliant sense of humour, the cave is a very interesting place to visit.

Wonderful tour by David around the caverns--taking us through millions of years of history! Great examples of stone age lamps, skeletons and tools, as well as other artifacts! Absolutely brilliant!
Well worth a visit!
One of the best cave systems I've been to!

Fantastic place to visit, take the kids they will love it, amazing we have such stunning history in this country. The guide was knowledgeable and gave us all a laugh with his wise cracks, highley recommend this place.

Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves are brilliant, we took our 6 year old son, and he enjoyed it as much as we did.

Ollie was our Tour Guide and I must say, his guided tour was informative, friendly and lots of fun, he had the right mix of information, crowd participation and humour, engaging both adults and children.

The tour was about an hour long and full of amazing facts and stories, giving us detailed insight into the history of the caves. The caves themselves were intriguing, some very interesting winding paths and some wonderful cavernous rooms with fantastic rock formations and we all found the experience to be excellent.

We had lunch at the cafe (very reasonably priced) and the food was lovely.

The service from our initial greeting to leaving was first class, we were welcomed by Elliot who had a friendly smile, gave us loads of information and was very polite.

The gift shop had an amazing variety of souvenirs ranging in price from pocket money treasures and upwards from there, not to mention something appropriate for all ages.

There is an indoor activity section for children to draw ancient tribal face painting on 3D sculptures, hand prints on a cave wall, archaeological digging to find prehistoric bones and artefacts, and a toy area with a wooden train set and some drawing.

There is an outdoor walk which "we will be back" for, weather permitting.

There were a few toddlers on our Tour that got upset when the lights went out, so I would hesitate if you have a little one who is scared of the dark, but other then that I would say from about 5 years and up would be the perfect age to suit the length of the tour and understand the information being conveyed.

I would highly recommend the Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves as an enjoyable experience and something for all ages, in fact our son enjoyed it so much he has asked to have his birthday party here. We found the facilities to be excellent, service excellent, and many things to do for all ages and abilities.

Very historical and informational, enjoyed it very much. Tour guide was great, but he picked on me because I was wearing a birthday badge (it was all in jest, great fun)

Very interesting place. Hard to comprehend the timescale of how things evolved.
The staff were all absolutely lovely.

The caves were small but well worth it! We had Alan as the cave guide and he was so lovely and friendly. He answered all our questions and made us laugh! What a legend!!! Would definately reccomend.

Good visit, following current guidelines. Well recommended. David was our guide and he was very good.

Went today with my partner had a brilliant time and tour. Such an interesting place..

I am not a fan of bark places, my husband persuaded me ,I had his hand all the way, the young lady that did the tour, was Amazing the history and sights was good too.

Bring your kids there is a good fun and they can learn some basic geography and history.

Fantastic place for children and adults to find out the history of the area. Nice restaurant with friendly and helpful staff.

This place is amazing as there is lots of old artifacts and the guide let me lead the group and hold the torch. I would definitely recommend this place.

Covid safe. Friendly staff doing their best to keep everyone safe. Lovely tea and coffee in cafe. Caves well worth a visit

We all had a great time love it in the bearcave when the lights went off and josh was great to can't wait to go again

Great place to visit- not cheap- but the staff at the entrance were extremely welcoming and our tour guide (Joel) was interesting and knowledgeable- kept the adults and kids engaged. Nice little surprise of mince pie and mulled wine at the end- thumbs up from us

Really quite something to look at!!! The tour guide was rather amusing too....

Would definitely recommend

I took my 7yr old nephew just seeing him captivated with all the caves an stories of the history of it all

An amazing place. I would recommend this tourist attraction to anybody. Great guides, a spell binding place full of atmosphere and history and wonderful staff.

Went on the ghost walk in summer 2016. Was amazing experience staff were fantastic

One of my favourite places in Torquay. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and enthusiastic about her job, I must also mention that she was fantastic with the kids. Such an interesting place and well worth the money - a must if you're in Torquay!

Great informative visit with guide David who pitched everything at exactly the right level for our group.

The guide was excellent and the caves are very interesting

Really good tour by Alfie. Informative and fun. Kids (13 and 15 yr old girls) enjoyed it

Great for an adventure especially with children. The only thing I'd change would be to let you explore by yourself, that'd be so much fun.

385 million years old but only excavated in Victorian times, items found near skeletons, hyena, mammoth teeth, Neanderthal skulls, stalagmites that grow at a rate of 1cm per 1000 years! Totally fascinating!

The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and also mixed in quite a bit of humour. It was great that the caves weren't slippery and the tour was different to any other cave tours that I've experienced before which was refreshing.

Enjoyed it. Tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable.

Really interesting tour. Great food in the restaurant. Did a web deal and got a tour and meal deal.

Great place to go, gives alot of information and the tour guides are very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely go again!

Tour guy was very good. Parking was cheap and nearby. Cream teas was also very nice

Amazing cave system, guide was really informative and great with children, had everyone in stitches. Highly recommend a visit.

Looking for a bite to eat buy they don't serve food between 3pm-6pm. Otherwise gin list was v.extensive and beer garden looked nice!

Wonderful morning of fun and adventure! This is definitely a perfect place to visit in all weather. The cave tour is fantastic, we had a brilliant guide to show us around the stunning cave giving the perfect amount of information but still being engaging enough to keep younger ones entertained and interested!
After the cave visit there is a brilliant nature trail outside, you can pick up an activity sheet from the front desk and little ones can find clues along the trail. We visited during Halloween so there were also themed activities going on which our 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed!

Interesting caves, excellent guide with good commentary. Lots to see and do.

Went on a school trip and this was a lot of fun for all. Very informative guide through the cavern. Would recommend.

Good place, well done guide - talks about everything interestingly and with humor

Wow great place to visit it's a must on your trips.....

Fantastic caves along with a very informative tour.

Great place to visit and the tour guide we had (Alfie) was fantastic and funny

We love Kent's cavern. I've been going since I was a child, and now I take my kids. We also went to see Father Christmas, which was also fantastic.

The guide was very informative and it was a beautiful place. Things for the kids outside too.

Good tour with Alan, lots of interesting facts about prehistoric man and ice age esque animals.

Excellent place to visit, take a bus to it. It's a good walk from town ( up hill ).

Fantastic caves, thank you Mat for the entertaining history recommend and family friendly

Very expensive if it wasn't for a 10 min talk at the beginning you would be in and out in no time at all absolute rubish

A great tour. David knew what he was talking about and interacted well with the party.

Beautiful rock formations and finds.
Amazing to experience what our ancestors must have felt. Really enjoyed the tour and the food was excellent and at a reasonable price. Worth the trip.

Beautiful caves and great tour.
Love when we can learn something from it. Heaps to explore here. How to make tools, woodland trail, bone remains etc...

Staff were friendly and helpful. Coffee was good too.

Loved the demonstration of how to light the caves and how to make tools.

Brilliant experience.

Amazing caves! Really atmospheric and totally worth the trip. Too rainy to do the walk but it looked good too. Only access is with a tour - so bear in mind you may have to wait until the next one. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

Loved it. Our guide Ian really brought the caves to life

Interesting place that you wouldn't expect in the middle of a town. Much bigger than I was expecting, thought it would only be a small cave. Tour guide was good too.

Good way to pass a rainy few hours in Devon. The tour guide, Amy, was excellent and provided a great tour of the caves. The tour lasts for 1 hour. The cafe is good and reasonably priced. Cave entrance is quite expensive especially for a family as children prices are nearly the same as an adult price.

Great experience for our 4 yr old boy. Bit scared at first but the tour guide Alan was great put all the kids at ease on his introduction talk. Taking a picnic would be a good idea but there is a nice cafe there of not. Also included is a woodland walk with some hidden facts etc around it. Brass running and chalk boards inside as an extra too. Tour of caves was about an hour

Absolutely love this place. Fascinating and informative. Beautiful display. Small groups let in at particular times makes it much easier to move around. Great photography opportunities. Great for kids. Wear appropriate footwear as it can be very slippery. The restaurant is limited but has a good variety and not too expensive. Bit of a trek to get there esp. If you're walking. Beautiful view with outdoor eating option. Also has a small walking trail.

Interesting tour with well-kept facilities and building. Prices in the Cafe are pretty steep, but it's all to keep the place running.

Excellent place to visit, really interesting tours and a fantastic all year-round spot (cool in the summer, warm in the winter - it's a constant 14 degrees 365 days of the year).

If you're in a wheelchair or struggle with mobility then this may not be the best place to visit but that's not the staff's fault, everything has been done to the best that they can.

The cafe is reasonable and there are a good selection of drinks at the bar too.
