This is a must see adventure when you're in the area. Large caverns with one of a kind rock formations And a boat tour of the Lake Inside the cave. My wife and I did the walking tour Crawl tours are also available. I did not require a jacket but my wife did. We went on the last tour of the day and only had 4 people in our group The other groups throughout the day were a lot larger.
Would definitely recommend visiting this place if you enjoy caves or historical places!
The Lost Sea was awesome! The water was so crystal clear that it was simply amazing. There were some huge rainbow trout in there as well, that they stock every couple years. With the water being so clear, you could reach out and grab the fish right out of the water (although I would recommend leaving the fish where they are). The fish get fed about 25 times a day, and might mistake a finger/hand for more food (which is why they tell you to keep your hands in the boat when they get near the fish).
It is an amazing experience esp coz it has a few of rare sights ( moonshine still etc). The guided tour is great, pitch dark moment will leave you amazed. Boat ride is cool, you don't get wet at all (unless one of your companion decides otherwise). Watch out for a few slippery spots. Sports shoes recommend (ladies avoid heels and wedges). May want to carry water, it gets a bit humid.
Let me Begin by saying the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because both the sweet shop and blacksmith were closed during our visit. And since they are part of the (adventure) it was disappointing. The glassblower on the other hand was wonderful our family enjoyed seeing him at work. So with that said...The cave itself was amazing!!! Our guide Elijah was entertaining and outgoing which made for a very enjoyable trip. I would encourage everyone to wear their walking shoes as the journey back up is a bit of a hike, which don't seem so bad considering the beauty of the cave as you walk. The concession style restaurant for it's limitations is actually pretty good. The wings and burgers are tasty! All in all worth the price!
The hike down wasn't hard (since it's all downhill). The hike back up isn't too terrible, especially since they have 3 designated stopping points where people can rest. There were people in our group ranging from young kids to older adults, athletic to overweight, and no one had a hard time climbing back up.
It took my little boy down there to explore. We had a awesome time. He enjoyed every minute of being in those caves. It's probably not a good idea to take a small kid there. A small kid as in 2 or younger. It's all walking and it's mostly wet and a bit muddy. It's about a hour or so tour. It's well worth the money and the drive to me and my little boy. We had a great time and we WILL be going back in the spring for the larger tour. It's close to a 4 hour tour. In some cases your invited to spend the night in the caves. Now that is a awesome experience that your kids will NEVER forget.
Really enjoyed our trip here! Very historical, and an interesting walk.
There was one room where they let you experience true darkness, that which can be found only in the depths of the earth or water where light cannot penetrate. It was awesome, and a little scary, to not even be able to see your hand in front of your face!
