This is one of several cave systems in North Central Arkansas. We have visited War Eagle Caverns in the past and other caves throughout the US. It was very scenic, and caves do differ in their internal formations. Some have smooth walls and large open caverns. Some are more jagged with twisting, narrow passages. This was more of the latter. Word to the wise: steep stairs formed out of rock, passageways where a person had to lean sideways to pass through. I bumped my head on one and I'm short. Expect constant dripping from above due to 100% humidity, with wet walkways, stairs and railings. You could easily slip if not prepared. In fact our guide told us the back section of the cave had been closed to tours because it was now too slippery. We were able to see some bats at the end of the tour. As jagged caves go, it was impressive. Our guide's jokes felt scripted and forced. We found him not terribly friendly, and no one laughed. He did not seem to enjoy his job. Aside from that, it was an entertaining way to spend an hour and a half on the way to Eureka Springs.
Great tour with our awesome tour guide, Dakota! This was our kids' first time visiting a cavern and they were completely blown away!
This place is so cool to see at least one time. Adult tickets were $22 and kids were $11. Our tour guides name was Katie I believe and she was amazing. We lucked out and got the tour to ourselves so she explained everything so well and we got lots of photo ops. My 8 year old thought these caves were so cool and the whole tour took about an hour and 15 minutes. The have a little gift shop too.
One of the raddest experiences we have done. My husband and I went to go check out the caverns while visiting Branson. Jake was a great guide and always taking care of us. Well spoken and explained how caverns are forms and how rad they are! Do not skip this!!! 100% go!! You will not regret it!!!
Cosmic Caverns was such a fantastic stop on our trip! This privately owned cavern is truly a hidden gem. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared stories that kept our entire group--toddlers, kids, and teens--completely engaged. He answered all of our questions with ease and even shared exciting details about future expansion and exploration plans for the cave.
This is a fantastic tour. The guide was great and a beautiful cave. The travel throughout this cave is a little more on a moderate level. Lots of stairs (steep/uneven), narrow tight paths, and low clearance. Now, don't be discouraged bc they have no problem waiting for you. They also offer a wild tour that requires ALOT more skill, but you end up going about 800 more feet back into the cave. This cave is still actively being discovered, which to me makes it more exciting. I would so recommend and wish our kiddos would have come they would have loved it.
The best possible activity choice when it's 95 degrees out is to go to a cave where it's 64 degrees year round! The drive from Eureka Springs was pretty quick but it is out in the boonies a bit. Our tour guide Landen was super knowledgeable and personable! We had a really large group but he did a great job of keeping everyone together and making sure we could all hear and see. It was really cool to see all the unique formations and hear the history of the cave. The sunken raft was wild to look at! I was super curious about the further sections of the cave, and there is a "wild tour" that's more adventurous that goes further out. Def one of the cooler caves I've been to! Recommend if you're in the area and looking for something fun to do.
Cool cave, and the underground 'lakes' are beautiful. The formations are cool, and the history is interesting. Our tour guide talked non-stop - maybe a bit too much. But the cave is way cool.
Celebrating its 175th Anniversary [Sept 4, 2020] There were many cavern tours to choose from in Missouri but we crossed over to Arkansas to check out this cavern. Cosmic Cavern is located in Berryville between Eureka Springs and Branson. We took a tour that lasted approximately 1.15 hour. There was a small group of ten of us including our tour guide, Lisa. We descended steep stairs, ducked through low hanging cave ceilings, walked through narrow passageways, and get through a few tight spots. The fascinating sceneries of remarkable stalactites, pure white soda straws that covered the ceilings of North Lake Passage were a sight to see. There was even a visible fault line above one of the sections we stopped. The best part was the room they called the "Oh My God!" Room... that was also the end of our cave tour and the start of the Wild Tour for the more daring folks. After describing what it entails I couldn't do it... it takes guts and probably some experience to do it. We saw two of several underground lakes inside the cavern that was pretty cool. The cave is well lit and it was 64° underground... that's year round so whether it's hot or cold outside you get to enjoy a comfortable steady 64° weather inside the cavern. We took the steps slowly, taking our time, holding onto the rails and sides of the cave. Our tour guide was ever so patient with us but while we were amazed at the limestone that surrounded us our tour guide was more amazed with my Mom. She was wearing wedge sandals in this tour! After our short adventure we were invited to have some cake on their upstairs floor. We each had a slice... yummy! We were able to knock $2 off each of the admission price in celebration of their 175 years of existence. Enjoy the souvenir shop on your way out. Review #1928
Just had a fantastic tour with Adam. It is a great cave and there is a ton to see and to learn about the cave systems in Arkansas. A big heads up, there are a lot of steep steps that are slick, so take your time. Also remember to duck.
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the knowledgeable tour guides and beautiful cavern formations, with the experience seen as worthwhile for families.

Great cave with interesting formations and ever-emerging developments and research. They are always digging into new rooms and happily talk about excavation. Warning: the stairs are really steep and I would not recommend for small children or those with mobility issues. Cameras and photos are allowed, and I found the guides to be very knowledgeable and friendly. Tours leave every hour and run $15 per adult--$13 if you use the coupon online! read more
The guides are very informative! Wear comfortable shoes. It's not for people of a larger size due to some narrow passageways. Most people should be able to go down but I don't recommend this if you have any mobility issues. I do not recommend this for children under the age of 8. read more

The Cosmic Cavern has been one of the best caves we've explored. Our group of six went down below with a large mixed group of adults and kids. The guide was awesome and we weren't rushed along on the tour. She even took photos of the groups that wanted her to in two areas. Commendable patience! I highly recommend this beautiful cavern if you are in Northwest Arkansas. It will be one of the highlights of your trip!!! read more

We loved our tour of Cosmic Cavern on March 10, 2019. The tour guide was enthusiastic and friendly, and she knew so much about the caves. She welcomed all questions and clearly loved her job. We wish we could have spent more time exploring the grounds, but we were only there for a quick stop. I'd love to go back! The gift shop is really great, too! read more

We so enjoyed the tour of Cosmic Caves. We had many caves tours to choose from in the Branson area. We had a brochure and figure it would be great drive. We are so happy we chose Cosmic Cave. The tour guide Janell was the best! No really, she was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We were a small group, and she really made the tour fun. This is a wet cave and she was very good at reminding us to be careful and never complained it some of us we a little slow. Highly recommend taking the time to tour Cosmic Cave. read more

Welcome to Red Neck Land. We just passed Blue Eye, Arkansas and arrived here. My son and I took tour as husband stayed in the car. This is what I call spelunking at its finest. We needed to descend some steep steps to the cave. In this cave there was cave bacon, stalligtites, stalligmites, soda straws, a fault line, columns. The owner actually discovered more rooms and blasted some openings. This cave also has two lakes. This cave tour includes ducking, squeezing through tight areas and walking up and down. You will get a workout. We didn't see any blind salamanders as it wasn't muddy enough. The tour guide was very good and she was 57 years old. We saw Santa rock formation and bats as we left. This was a great cave tour. They also offer a wild cave tour that explores other areas with ropes. If I was 20 years younger, I would love that tour. They also have a US map in their gift shop where you can put a stick pin on it where you're from. Highly recommended. read more

Cosmic Cavern is a must stop if you like caves. This was our last cave to visit and we are so happy we saved it for last. Stephanie was our guide and she was amazing. My kids 8 and 12 loved seeing all the different formations. We loved also playing with Lisa the Comic's Cat. Thanks again Stephanie and Cosmic Cavern for sharing the cave and its history with us. read more

Awesome experience!!!! Mo was an awesome tour guide!!! Thank you for the hospitality, humor and kindness read more
I was visiting from Texas and looking for something to do. Decided to come to this cavern. The owners are super friendly and very knowledgeable. There is a long history between the cave and the owners and they are very passionate about it. It's about $15.99 per person and about about an hour long for the tour. They have a nice little gift shop and they are open from 9-5pm. It's about 68 degrees down in the cave and we had the opportunity to see some bats. Great place for kids! read more

Fantastic tour today! My wife and I got a private tour with lots of history and close-up looks at some great formations! Our tour guide even went the extra mile and got some great photos of us inside the cave, complete with action shots! Note: there are some low ceilings in the cave (nothing crazy), that required a crouched duck-walk and some tight squeezes through close walls but they were easily navigated. Make sure to wear some shoes with good grip! read more
