Great, happy, entertaining, and very informative tour guide that kept my kids entertained as well as answered their many questions and calmed my daughter's nerves about going down into the cave itself. Cool little spot. :) read more

Our tour guide, StingRay, was awesome! He was very informative and super friendly. We really enjoyed learning the history of the cave and seeing some of the critters who call the cave home. My daughter really enjoyed the cave, as well as sifting for gold and other gemstones! Thank you for a very very lovely Sunday! read more

We visited Cascade Caverns at 10am on a Sunday and lucked out with a private tour! We were able to ask lots of questions and take our time. The cave is smaller than most in Texas, but it is very beautiful because it is still actively growing. We enjoyed our tour by Stingray who shared lots of information and was very funny. We also got to see a bat, a salamander and a frog! Be sure to stop by for tours on each hour if in the area! read more

Went on a whim as a Saturday morning date and it did not disappoint! We had an excellent tour from Aaron and Emily. We arrived in time for the first tour of the morning and got a private tour since no one else was there. Truly a hidden gem in the hill country! read more

Unexpectedly phenomenal! We stopped off to check out this cave and were very impressed! It's very "natural" feeling and doesn't have the same "commercial" vibe of other caves in this part of Texas. Our tour guide, Brandon, was informative and funny. 10/10! read more

Delightful cave with cute bats and interesting features the guide "Stingray" was amusing and a delight as a tour guide would recommend.

Emily was amazing and funny tour guide. I recommend taking this tour. It's well worth your money and time.

We've passed through Boerne several times over the past few years and *finally* got the chance to stop at Cascade Caverns this year. We had the pleasure of touring the cave with Brandon who was very informative and also very hilarious. I'm glad we made the stop and recommend anyone passing through with a curiosity for caves to do so as well. read more

Emily was very knowledgeable as our tour guide! She took the time to explain what we were seeing in the caverns. We were a large group with younger children and she was very patient and engaging with them! Thank you Emily! We will be back! read more

Love this place !! I've been coming here since I've been a kid and man has it grown !!! Be ready to be amazed !!

Awesome place!! Stingray was a fantastic tour guide and the history of the cave was interesting. We had 3 young kids with us and there was enough to keep them intrigued and excited. Highly recommended for anyone to visit. You will not be disappointed read more

The caverns are so interesting and Ryan was a great tour guide. So glad we went! Thanks Ryan!

Amazing cavern tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide "Stingray". they give you a flashlight and guide you through. It really feels like an exploration tour. A must visit. read more

Great visit today! Brought my 5 year old and my 60 year old mom, both really enjoyed it. Nice little shop attached and clean bathrooms! Campsite was very clean as well. Our tour guide was awesome and you could tell really loved his job and was very knowledgeable. It was a little rainy but not bad. It was wet in the cavern so be careful not to slip. Most folks had on regular shoes, T-shirt's and shorts. I was actually sweating in jeans and only had my jacket on for a little bit. They gave us flashlights to use as well, my kid loved that! Very professional and affordable! Took maybe 2 hours. Might come back again as my son loved today's adventure! So happy we saw the signs on the highway. Tours start every hour on the hour and they were right on time! read more

This was a real highlight of our visit to Texas. The store is absolutely delightful. The cavern tour is well worth the cost, about $20 per person and lasts about an hour. Our tour guide was Stingray and he was very knowledgeable with the perfect blend of facts, fun, and safety. This cavern is fascinating and really active. It is a lot of steps and it is wet, potentially slippery for some. Very doable for the average person. My husband, me, and our 2 daughters (23 & 18 years old) just loved it and also loved that it didn't feel commercialized like other similar places. After the tour we went into Boerne for lunch and shopping on Main St. Excellent short day trip from San Antonio. read more

I will preface this with I did not actually go on the Caverns tour, so I cannot speak to the actual quality of the tour or cavern itself, but if the grounds or other Yelp reviews are any indication, I don't think I was missing out on much. I stopped in because I was driving back to Austin from San Antonio and saw that it wasn't too much of a drive off of I-10 from where I was. The caverns are annoyingly far off the highway down these little ranch roads that if it weren't for the signage you would swear you'd made a very wrong turn (on the road and in life). When I finally arrived at the ticket office it was 10mins before the 3pm tour (which is the last of the day) and I was greeted by a kitschy roadside-americana-esque TRex. The place looks like something you might find off a very long-forgotten portion of Route 66. So I go inside to get my ticket ($14.95 reg price for adult, but $2 less with their online coupon) and the disinterested kid behind the counter immediately tells me I can't do the tour if I'm the only one. I was really surprised to hear this, so I asked why and he says that it's company policy and a liability issue that there must be at least two people on a tour to go down into the cave, but I can wait until 3pm (which is now T-5mins) to see if anyone else shows up. So I run to the restroom and come back and see a family of three perusing the gift shop, so I think "great, people for the tour". Turns out they had already gone on the 2pm tour. So after sitting there for 10mins (it's now 15mins after 3pm) the kid looks up and almost as if he forgot why I was there, he says "Sorry, but we aren't doing a tour, besides it would be too late to go down now anyway if someone were to show up". Seriously? I have toured caverns all over Texas and the US (I am not joking, I have close to 40 cavern tours in the US alone under my belt and probably close to 60 worldwide) and have never been turned away from a tour because I was the only one. If much nicer establishments, such as Cave of the Winds, in Colorado will take me one on one, then I have to think there is something more "Beware-able" about it being an issue here. My thoughts on the whole disappointing situation are these: -Must not be worth seeing if they can't drum up business -Must not want business if they are turning away customers In any case, I will not be returning as again, I doubt I'm missing anything but a cheap over-priced tourist trap experience here. I highly recommend touring the nearby Natural Bridge Caverns and Cave Without a Name, both of which are absolutely, amazingly beautiful and the formations will take your breath away! *In response to the comment left by Cascade Caverns about tour not going if there is only one person being prevalent on their website and brochure, I have gone back to the website (see pics of their website below or go to it yourself) to see if I somehow overlooked something to that effect and cannot find any verbiage regarding restricted tour size or safety liability of said tour size. As for the brochure, I cannot speak to that as I only consulted their website and Yelp and did not see a brochure, but I would imagine if it isn't easily found on their website, I doubt it would be printed on their brochure. **I have since corrected this review to say "Natural Bridge Caverns" and not "Cascade" as a cavern I would recommend read more

Closed due to flooding in caves but you would never know as they don't post it on website. You have to call. We wasted almost 2 hour drive

It's been several years since I last went on a cave tour, so this was a great experience. I'm only in town for a couple days, but I thought this would be a fun adventure. I was right. Our tour guide, Brandon, was a good teacher and very patient with me stopping often to take pictures haha. He told many jokes and facts about the cave that made the experience even more fun. I would definitely recommend going to see this beautiful cavern. Thanks Brandon for the great tour :) read more

Cascade Caverns - The cave entrance and beautiful scenery outside. - Tours Near Me - Boerne, Texas

I really liked this tour. I'd gone to one somewhere else before as a weekend school trip when I was about 14. I admit, that one was gorgeous and amazing, but this place was pretty cool, too. My dad and sisters were first timers and they really enjoyed themselves. For $11 you get a tour guide telling stories and facts from start to finish. I don't want to spoil too much, but one thing I thought cool, literally, is that the cavern stays around 68 degrees year round whether it's 100 outside or 50. It's a pleasant temperature. The waterfall is not super impressive, but if you don't know by now, much of Texas went through a severe drought last year. Yeah, there were a few ladders and shovels lying along the side at one point, but me and the family simply joked about the old, well preserved tools from several hundred years ago. By the end of the cavern I wished the tour was a little longer. Turns out it was. On our way out the guide paused to talk and show us more things like, well, you'll have to come and see. :p This is also an RV and camping area with walking trails. We had an hour to kill before the tour started so we walked around. Nothing particularly special. It was neat to explore, but I couldn't picture spending a weekend there without getting bored. Taking pictures with Rex was entertaining. There are a couple of kind of run down pool tables in the office along with some artifacts pulled from the cavern. I think if you're on a budget or have some first timers, then this is perfect. If you've already been to Natural Bridge Caverns or Sonora Caverns you may not find this as enthralling. [Edit: My 100th review! :D] read more

This was a smaller cave. Both in length, width and height. The spaces are small until you get to the last area which opens up to an underground lake and waterfall(except during the current drought). There is even 25 feet or so of path that was no more than about 4 foot tall. Creepy yet fun. It's another walk out and back the way you came tour. It was very dimly lit. It's the darkest cave I've ever been in. This cave is very much alive. There is water dripping, running and puddling everywhere. Mostly level once inside but quite slippery in spots. Various little cave critters to be seen. Lots of lovely formations. There is even a mastodon tusk and bone embedded in the rock. You are allowed to photograph all you want so bring your cameras. It's worth a trip. read more

The family and I went yesterday to check out this local attraction after almost 20 years of living in San Antonio. It's tucked way back off of the highway, but the way is marked well and you won't get lost. On first arrival the grounds seem a little lackluster. I guess I expected a bit more polish for being such a well known attraction. There is a T-Rex statue right as you park, so be sure and take advantage of the photo op. The staff was very friendly, even giving our son some rocks for free because of how much he liked them. The tour itself was fun and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw three hibernating bats, some salamanders, and a couple frogs that had managed to find their way down there. Then of the way out we saw two huge turkey vultures waiting for one of us to drop out, lol. A great time. Will absolutely recommend to others. read more

Cascade Caverns - Tours Near Me - Boerne, Texas

My best friend and I went on the tour last weekend, March 1, with three other guests (1 adult, 2 children) and our tour guide Chad (or Brad?! Sorry I cannot recall). I am currently living in New York City, so my dear friend thought it would be nice to get out in nature while I'm visiting town, and on a cold rainy day in San Antonio, a cave tour sounded perfect. I had a fantastic time. Our tour guide was very knowledgable, personable, and handled the children very well. I hadn't read the other reviews until after we had taken the tour, but I am shocked at the negativity, as we had such a positive experience. I will definitely be taking my fiancé and his family back when we're in town for our wedding later this year, and highly recommend this tour to those wanting to explore something beautiful and extraordinary. Plus! The bats are adorable and I never thought I would say that! read more

This place is really fun and interesting. Takes about an hour and it's very interesting geologically. Plus bats and salamanders too! The customer service is really great too! Thank you Celeste! read more

Quick, close, spontaneous trip. Tour was an hour long with James. There are 102 steps going down into the cave and a short area where you have to bend over to walk through to the rest of the cave. During the summer months there is another tour that takes you to much smaller confined spaces. Can be slippery, tiny bats and salamanders live in the cave. read more

Beautiful, secluded park. Clean restrooms/showers. Friendly, helpful employees. We'll be back.

James was our tour guide he was very nice and informative. Showed us the salamanders and lots of bats. Highly recommend. Wear appropriate shoes and if you wear pants don't wear ones that drank the ground they will be wet from water on caves floor read more

We had a good tour guide. I think his name was Travis. I do wish folks would refrain from referencing millions of years when talking about cave formations though. I'm sure he was just repeating what he was taught. Great cave and experience. read more

I took a small group of friends in July. We had a great time! The cave temperature makes this a great option for the ridiculous summer temperatures in Texas. We even met the owner! Masks were required and I saw several employees sanitizing surfaces! We will be back! Perhaps we will book an adventure tour! read more

We scheduled a flashlight tour for our company, LeMeilleur's RV Truck & Equipment Repair Co aka The Diesel Dr. and discovered a great Texas treasure at Cascade Caverns in Boerne. LynnRae and Hannah were great tour guides, the flashlight tour was a lot of fun and we all learned some new information about Caves and the underground state of Texas! I would highly recommend a tour if you are looking for something fun and educational for anyone 5 and over. Keep in mind this is a cave with animal species that are fragile so they don't allow pets, service dogs, wheelchairs, strollers, roller skates, anyway, you get the picture! On a footnote two children in our group were special needs (had disabilities) and one had a service dog he couldn't take down into the cave with him. The tour director, "Stingray", kept this young boy right up front with him and took the time to show him all the neat formations and even explained the why & how when the boy had questions. For a group of 14 it was about an hour and 1/2 and you really didn't feel like you had been there very long. The other tour director, Hannah, stayed in the back and was great in answering questions from the stragglers like me who were ooing and awing over all the neat cave stuffy. BTW the Balcones fault goes directly through the top of the cave! Interesting :). They have a great gift shop and the kids all loved playing with the magnetic stones. IF you have an RV they also have a really nice campground with RV hookups and a very nice shower/restroom area. Next time you are in the Boerne, TX area you should stop by and learn a little about the great State of TEXAS! read more
