Great Overall Family Experience!
There is nothing better than spending your time in a cool cave in the summer Texas heat! The tickets are very reasonable for a family and I recommend you go all out and do all of the activities! Activities include - petting zoo, short cave tour, elevator ride from cave to lookout tower and the anti gravity house. We first took a ride on the train to the animal petting zoo! Buy lots of bags of zoo feed for the animals because they are hungry and will eat out of your hand! Bags of feed are really affordable! Your little ones will enjoy seeing and feeding the various animals surrounding the wagons! Next we went on cave tour. We took a 4 year old and a 9 year old and they were able to complete the cave tour. The cave is not crazy long which is great for the little ones or elderly people. There are some tight and low hanging areas in cave so you will get a little workout and have to squat to avoid getting some bumps on your head! There are some cool areas in the cave but do not expect to see incredible formations. The tour guides are very informative and they throw in some cheesy jokes which makes the tours entertaining! After the cave tour we took an elevator to the top of the lookout tower. After the tower you are then guided to the anti gravity house. The anti gravity house is a leaning house that is an optical illusion. Hold on to the rails and your kiddos because they will run into the walls. There is a gift shop and a little restaurant with a limited menu. Overall the kiddos enjoyed this place! This is a great place for the family and very affordable!

Better than Natural Bridge Caverns.
We had so much fun here. The cave was not as strenuous as Natural Bridge Caverns so it was a much more pleasant experience. The guide was funny & made the tour fun & interesting. They have the gravity house & tower plus the tram ride to the small zoo area across the street. They also had small kiddie rides too which may incur a separate fee but unsure of that. The only complaint is being forced to wait 40 + minutes for the tram. Our tour group was at full capacity whereas the group ahead of us maybe had 5 people. I understand the need to keep groups & guides together but as the tram was the final attraction & due to the large amount of visitors in our group, they should’ve made an exception & allowed some of our group to go ahead with the tram group ahead of us. Our tram was SO CROWDED! We literally were sitting on top of each other, crammed in like sardines. The tram that was ahead of ours was so empty, they could’ve totally taken some extras on board from our large group.
