We took the 80 minute tour. It involved some climbing some stairs on the way out. Unlike most caverns we had ever been in, it hot and muggy. Leave jackets and sweaters above ground. All that said the formations were very interesting and we were glad we went.

I came to Natural Bridge Caverns on somewhat of a business trip and was not expecting to love it as much as I did! The cave so cool and our guide was very informative, and answered every question we had very thoroughly. They are also adding some more attractions and had lots of kid-friendly activities, so I will definitely bring... More

The tour my group went on was informative and a relatively easy walk, and I liked the education on conservation efforts. At the time of our visit, the owners were in the middle of building a large high-ropes course and rock wall, a great way to add more of a "family fun" factor for those not as interested in the...

This is a family-owned attraction, which I found very interesting! The caverns are just an amazing part of nature, and a must see for everyone. Our guide was fun and extremely knowledgeable. They've also added a zip line attraction outside which looks really awesome. Awesome place for all ages!

This was my first time in San Antonio and I would definitely recommend The Natural Bridge Caverns to anyone touring San Antonio. Very cool cave to walk around in and learn about how it works. This is a family owned business and you get that feel just from walking around and interacting with all of the fun people and attractions.

The walking tour was great! We really enjoyed the amazing sights and sounds within the cavern. Lights are used throughout the cave to illuminate the spectacular formation. Unlike many other commercial caves, the lights are not colored and lend to the natural setting of the cave. Throughout the tour the guides provide plenty of information on the formation of the...

We took both the tours.... Discovery and Hidden passages... Totally worth the time and money... Your guides were amazing in explaining stuff in simple terms and gave us ample time for pictures .... Formations were out of the world...

My wife and I took a day trip to the Natural Bridge Caverns for a thrilling experience on the Canopy Challenge and Zipline. Started off with the Zipline. Nice and easy. Built trust in the equipment. The Canopy Challenge had four levels of adventure. It is your choice from easy to difficult. All where a pleasure and exciting. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I did the Canopy Challenge and Zipline for a date last weekend. I am a little uncomfortable around heights, but I quickly overcame my fear. It was SUPER FUN! We did the zipline first. It's six stories off the ground. I was afraid to go at first. But, it's actually very tame and actually relaxing. Like a... More
