A total hit with the kids! They loved running around the cave and being on a boat. It's perfect if you've got kiddos three and up, thanks to the discounts too! Just wear comfortable shoes for sure.

Perfect family adventure! Everyone on the tour was super friendly. The cave was extraordinary, and the scenic boat ride was probably our favorite part. Kids under 3 are free, which was a nice little bonus since we had a toddler with us.
