Natural Bridge Caverns Review

Place is great. Just make sure all your kids can walk. Had to carry one and it makes the tour hard. It has some elevation.

One of the most beautiful places is not to be missed

Our tour guide, Hollie, was extremely knowledgeable in the subject and was able to answer all the questions she was asked. She clearly explained the cavern in terms that everyone could understand and was very sociable and kind!! I will definitely be going back to Natural Bridge Caverns with my family and will request to be on a tour given by Hollie. She truly made this experience one to remember!

Gotta visit at least once, especially if you have kids between 6 and 12. Cost is kind of expensive at $22 for each adult and military discount is only $2 off each ticket

Lots of fun activities for the whole family and a very friendly staff.

First of all, the staff was amazing. I hadn t been to the caverns in quite a long time and so much has changed. They ve really improved a lot of the stuff outside of the caverns; shops, activities, facilities, and everything that money can be spent on. The caverns themselves are definitely for people who are at least not in terrible shape. I ve got asthma, so this definitely wasn t the best idea for me (especially in August), but in all, it was very enjoyable. My 6 year old had a blast, as did my 2 year old. However, I wouldn t recommend bringing a 2 year old, especially into the caverns. There s not a whole lot of safety in place for his age, but that s not the fault of Natural Bridge Caverns. We were super careful with him and aware of how he could be in certain situations, and he really enjoyed it as well.

Absolutely beautiful; a wonderful place to hang out with friends or family. Just make sure to buy tickets ahead of time (online) since there's discounts.

I have been here twice actually. First time I went I was with my wife alone. We were super high, was a long time ago, probably 2007ish. Loved it. We went again when we matured. Probably June 15th 2020ish. Super fun both times. The second time we brought our 2 year old, 7 year old and 8 year old daughters. My 8 year old had like 50,000 questions. And the tour guide answered her 50,000 questions without batting any eye. We kept trying to hush her up to speedup the small (covid-19) tour group. The guide would have none of it and insisted on answering her 8 year old questions. Super amazing tour guide. I didnt catch his name but he wore sandals and he had some pretty dope hair.

I highly recommend coming here. I mostly recommend going without your kids... AND THEN I recommend going with your kids after you enjoy it.

It's definitely one of the best places I viaited in San Antonio. We went to discovery tour. It was around 1:30 hour.

Beautiful place .....Till your kids want a large pizza.....guess what they charge ?? 30.00 yep !!! It's not a magical pizza iether you don't even get a free piece pf memorabilia with it....tjen my daughter wanted a small cup of ice cream dots......you know the ice cream thats frozen into pellets ? ....5.00 ...i politely asked the kid if the pizza dough was flown from Italy
He rudely told me I don't have to get it and I should have brought sandwiches.....well guys there you have it....bring your lunches because if you do they will poke your eyes out
And by the way the pizza tasted just like any other pizza we get for 10.00 anywhere else

Our tour guide was amusing and sweet. We did the basic tour. For 5 of us it was $106, for 1/2 a mile. Don t bring sandels! Athletic shoes are best. The main reason it s 4 stars it s because of the price.

Great place to visit. The kids loved the caves and all the other activities they offer here. Comfy shoes are a must. There are alot of steep inclines and someone like me who is not in the worst shape, got a little winded when walking up and down. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable.

So beautiful and amazing nature, excellent service, great people, very clean and friendly

This place was pretty awesome it's a nice little outdoors experience

Beautiful, the guided trail was an amazing experience.

Pretty sweet caves.. not that bad of a hike but u will get wet and sweaty.

Awesome place I have been many times and will go again

Impeccably well kept area and clean grounds. The shops are immaculate, restrooms are very clean the staff is very nice. The tours and additional activities are well priced. A great place for young and old children. Zip-lining, mazes, gold mining and many other fun activities; there is so much more here then when I last went as a child. A family could easily spend the entire day here. Dress appropriately, the cave was not 70 degrees as posted, or at least it wasn't when we went in October. :-) this is certainly not a fault of the groundskeepers. But given the humidity, it was more like a sauna, so be prepared.

Definite must do if you are staying in San Antonio! Caverns are beautiful! Be prepared to walk a lot and go deep down underground!

A worth visiting and spending a day. Very well maintained, we

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.

This was my first time in a deep Cavern. Thoroughly enjoyed it. We couldn't do all of it as two of the rooms were flooded from too much water seeping in. It was really a wonderful place. The guide was very informative didn't rush you, yet you still got to do the tour in a good time. The hardest part was the grade walking up. I would recommend and we did to them that they somehow change the railings that they have there. They're just too slippery. You really don't feel comfortable using them. Other than that I thought it was a wonderful wonderful place. Highly recommended it. Also if you get one of those States passport books you can get it stamped in your book because it's one of the states natural wonders.

Beautiful views just a great gateway & experience in a cavern

Good place to enjoy some natural beauty but like any other turistic place the overpriced food taste terrible. Eat and drink before you get there...

Very nice place, very historic and they give a tour telling the story, low 180 feet down is very impressive

It's a really awesome place to take the family. Remember to take your water bottle and good shoes. Something that won't slip with water. It gets really hot and humid down there. Its alot of walking so bring something your comfortable with.

Nice experience.Do book both hidden and discovery tour so you don't miss any

Great place. Do include the place in your itinerary when you visit San Antonio

Must get there early but there at 3 and they were closings

What an amazing adventure & our guide was super great!!! Our tour was at 2:20pm on Friday the 20th of November!!

What a wonderful experience we took our 2 year old and 6 year old, we did the two tours and that was a little much for my 2 year old.

This is something that's geared towards adults more then kids. It's fun to check out but the kiddos got bored pretty quickly. The guide was good but there's only so much you want to hear about the rocks in the caves. Unfortunately no bats just bat poop.

Great views throughout this entire place. Peaceful place if you want to walk in nature or fun and adventure on the rope course. Inside the cave was comfortable even with a light jacket or sweatshirt on a low 70 degree day outside. Inside the caves... beautiful sites. Lots of picture opportunities. Be cautious: do not walk & video tape or take pictures. Lots of turns up & down slippery walkways. Listen & follow the tour guide directions for the safest day. Something for everyone to enjoy. Discovery Tour had 2-3 strenuous climbs. Tour takes about 60-70 minutes.

It's really insightful, and it's a good hike to see what nature can accomplish. Always amazing.

The tour was great and very informative. Gift shop was way too expensive and the staff around the gift shop and food court were very inexperienced , inattentive to customers and loudly gossiping to each other the whole time i was there. No customer service at all and they didnt seem to even know anything about the products they were selling when asked questions regarding them. The caves are definitly worth the visit. Family friendly and fun.

I've gone a few times over the past 30 years. Even school field trips back in the day. Pretty cool place to visit.

Great getaway. Drinks and food are pricey, but the tours are worth the exertion. Enjoy.

A greatntour. Very knowledgeable tour guide. It does get hit and humid so wear comfortable clothes and good shoes.

Absolutely loved it. It was a little expensive, but certainly worth every cent.

Really cool and well guided. Monday during Christmas break there were few people in our group which was nice. The caverns are very humid and definitely wear athletic shoes or hiking boots for traction since the path is steep and mostly wet.

One of the best caverns we have ever visited with the largest cave ever!!

Jordan was an awesome tour guide and knowledgeable!

Awesome!! Recommend combo ticket. Both cavers were amazing.

From the time you arrive on the grounds of this place your overtaken by beauty and splendor. Once you reach the caverns you re transported to another, amazing, incredible and inspiring world. The formations underground leave you with so much to think about and discuss. You are constantly in a state of awe at the wonder of this amazing underground world. Thank you Natural Bridge Caverns for proving such an amazing place to explore. It s fun for the whole family not just the curious minds.

Great place to visit and to relax. I had an extra special time taking my tour off the caverns with a great member of the Harlem Globetrotters. He was super nice & very friendly and really made my which started out as not the best.

We had a blast! but please if you have any medical condition beware of the humidity and the long walks. We were astonished by the beauty of these caverns. They also have a zip line!!!!

Geological rivet, descending to soil thickness, 99% humidity and heat Even when the cold outside, relieves coughing, it is difficult to move with strollers. Not accessible for the handicapped.

It was amazing. So beautiful, mysterious and mystical. It literally is a whole other world down there. It was like journeying into another dimension. Our your or guide Emily was knowledgeable and just amazing. I wish it wasn't as pricy as I have a large family that I would love to bring to visit.

We went on one of the tours, which took about 75 minutes and included steep inclines which have water running down them. It's about 70 degrees and 99% humidity.

This cavern is very special to me since it was the first time I ever visited one, it's a bit fancier now than when I first visited but still it's fun. The price is a bit much but it's worth it.

Awesome to see something that is still growing and has taken millions of years to form

The caverns are cool and there are a lot of fun activities for kids and the whole family. They also have a lot of trinkets and souvenirs.

We had an awesome tour here, but going down under here made me want to take the smaller, and further trip, next time I'm in the area I'm gonna do it. Amazing experience that I highly recommend. Great for kids I'd say too, maybe once they are 5 or 7 years old.

$ 25 admission and wait 40 'to go. A bit expensive and I went in hot weather uff, but nice place

Highly recommend to those who are looking for adventure!

So much fun here, and great learning experience from the tour guide

I absolutely love this place, everytime I have a guest from out of town I bring them here! The tour guides are always funny and friendly while delivering information about the caverns.

Much improved pathways and attractions. lighting is gorgeous

Awesome trip, but we were quite upset by the untrained guides. They really need to get prepared.

We went and did the discovery tour and the hidden tour. Steep climbs but they were worth seeing!

You'll be fascinated by 1) the cavern itself, which is both impressive and at times fearsome, and 2) the way they managed to pave walkways into it and put a bench in the middle of the cave halls. Both are equally entertaining! A bit expensive for the budget traveler ($20-25, two separate tours/paths), but definitely unique.

Place is great, informative, educational, way too overpriced.

Loved it! Had a private tour...no one was there. Greatest trip ever!! Josh was a great tour guide.

Worth the $18 bucks but find a coupon there all over the place .

Great experience, air does get thinner inside the cave though. Those who get winded easily beware.

Went here so our kids could do the tyke zipline. While the course and facility were excellent the staff and service was terrible. Immediately when approaching the area to purchase tickets for the zipline the staff working all seemed in really bad moods. When dealing with kids a staff needs to be light and fun but these employees were very cold and unwelcoming. This put damper on the entire experience and because of it we said we would never come back. There are a lot of places we go and the product might not be the best but the service is great so we come back. This place suffers from having a great product but a staff (at least at the zipline) that ruins the experience. This was made even worse considering we were the only ones at the zipline.

Lovely experience, just remember to have water with you long walking but fun

The tour we got was not that long just 75 mins, I've never being in a cavern before but I like this ones, beautiful formations, all kind of different chambers, tall, long, deep. I'll go back some day.
