My family loved being able to listen to the audio and take our time looking through the cave. My the children (6 and 4 yrs) had a wonderful time and learnt so much about the cave systems.

Great walkthrough and the information on the recording was very informative. The staff in the shop were lovely and helpful. The cave was in good condition. The walkways were safe and well lit enough to be able to get through safely.

So nice to be able to take our time, go at our own pace- even backtrack a little if we wanted to. Such an amazing place and the commentary was both clear and engaging.

Cave is huge, easy to walk through and has many different formations, including roof sections caved in and moving apart. Great lighting and a skeleton.
