I took my 10yr old grandson to the Lakes Cave and what an adventure it was. Our guide was so lovely and so knowledgeable, it was fascinating to learn the history of the cave and how it all formed. The energy inside the cave was really something to experience and the way they have set up the lighting just made it feel magical. We are now going to go on more adventures and see all of the other caves in the area. If you havent been then i highly recommend it 10/10

I took my 80 year old Mum to Lake Cave after a recommendation from a local. It was 650 steps in total but so worth the effort. The guide was fabulous and the cave itself was magical. We both ageeed the experience would be remembered for many years to come.
