One of the best caves I have ever seen in the Eastern U.S. Our tour guide Zach was fabulous. He really made the tour come alive. Will be back anytime we get in the Smokey Mountain area!! A MUST SEE!!!!!!
Friendly staff, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Answered all questions, never got short or bored with a 9 year old's never ending questions. Beautiful cave, amazing actually, a lot of fun. We go to the Smokey's to see the beauty of the park, not for the commercialism of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, the cave is right in ...
The caverns were really awesome! They are a must see if you are anywhere close to this area-- I would say it was one of the best parts of our stay in Townsend. The guide Brittany was very knowledgeable, and gave everyone plenty of time to observe and take pictures.Definitely worth a visit! I would avoid this trip if you have children that are ...

Great activity for a rainy day.

We just came back from visiting Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We spent an afternoon touring these caverns when the weather wasn't the greatest outside, but actually any time would be great. The directions were easy to follow, the guide was knowledgeable and the caves beautiful. The Big Room and Underground Beach were terrific. The water is ...
First the dislike you see great big signs advertising the caverns and which direction to go.But once you get on the road there is little signs giving directions I about missed our turn.Now for the good the price is very reasonable the cave is beautiful a true hidden gem of the smokies.The tour guide an older gentlemen was very knowledgeable and answered the questions fully.I would recommend this to anyone

Great cave

This cave is absolutely amazing. Our guide was a geology major at the University of Tennessee and extremely knowledgeable. The best part about the tour was being able to have a real conversation with the guide (not to say the rest of the cave wasn't phenomenal).

Poorly managed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/21/08
We were very excited about visiting the caverns on our trip to Pigeon Forge, so we visited the web site to get pricing info, schedule, contact information, etc. We called the number on the web page to get directions, but there was no answer and no useful information on the answering machine. We decided to make the 30 minute or so drive anyway and ...

One of God's Great Wonders!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/26/07
We just returned from Gatlinburg, and when asked what was our favorite part of our trip, we all agreed that it was the cave in Townsend! Even my 5 year old enjoyed it the most out of the entire trip, and we'd even been to the Ripley's Aquarium as well. I've been in a few caves myself, but this one was by far the most magnificent in ...

Slip back in time

The staff were friendly and knowledgable. The place is easy to find, yet off the beaten path from comercialism and highways. The Halls Powell Boys and Girls CLub Youth visit there each summer and thoroughly enjoy the history, the connections to seismology today, and the overall uniqueness of the physical beauty being on the backside of Cades Cove ...

Great Cave
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/24/07
We LOVE to visit caves. This one is very neat. We learn something new and see something different at every cave we visit. If you want to escape the heat, visit the cave as it is a constant 58 degrees. Also would be perfect on a rainy day or any other day.
