Caves are so interesting and there is so much to learn about them . Longhorn Cavern offer 3 different tour options. The cavern walking tour is just like a casual walking tour. The black light tour is where you wear hard hats and walk with a light. The Wild Cave tour is for the extreme explorers who are okay with tight spaces . I chose the cavern walking tour. I highly recommend shoes that have a tight grip. The gift shop has really good options for keepsakes. Also, if you get thirst drinks are available to purchase. I saw a section for pizza, but it was sold out. I had amazing time during my visit. The cave is beautiful and there is so much to see.

This isn't the best caverns I've visited within a Texas State Park, but it is pretty darn cool. The…read morebest caverns tour is at Kickapoo Caverns. I did a wild cave tour without the extra charges that Longhorn collects. At Longhorn, our guide, Johnson did an amazing job with our small group of six people for the 10:45 AM tour. My brother and I initially registered for the 11:00 AM tour and am glad that we were suggested another time. We passed by the 11:00 AM tour and they had 40+ people in their group. Johnson showed us cool geological formations. We saw dolomite, calcium bicarbonate, chert, limestone, geodes, stalagmites, stalactites, and quartz crystals. Johnson is somewhat funny; he had a bit of quirky and dry humor. I enjoyed the history of the caverns, but some of it I thought was interesting. It was really delightful to learn that in the 1800's, before the CCC got involved, the locals would dance and play music turning the cave into an auditorium of entertainment. Johnson said that if certain geological formations glows, it is growing. Very catchy phase for memory. I got to see a few bats hanging out. They were tricolor bats which are smallest bats. The cave is cool, but thankfully not slippery. I was wearing no grip support shoes, but I didn't fall or have the urge to fall. There are mats on the floor of the cave to prevent falls. Johnson gave us more time to look around and admire the geology. My brother and I weren't required to bring our own flashlights. Johnson had a flashlight, but forgot to grab the blacklights. What I find is strange is that this is a state park that you cannot renew your state park pass at. This park headquarters is very different than the rest considering that there's a third party company handing the cave tours, they sell ice-cees, popcorn, and the gift shop is very big and vast. The others don't have this. It is questionable to me. I was told that I needed to go to Inks Lake to renew my pass. The cave tours are very pricey. Kickapoo Caverns tour was very affordable at $10. You can use the park pass. You can't get your state park passport stamped at Longhorn Caverns either. It seems like Longhorn Caverns is more for profit and the history about the cavern could be overly exaggerated to attract customers. My opinion. It was hard to believe half of the things what Johnson was telling us. There's one portion of geological formation in the cave that is "dead" because in year 1919, the locals went exploring by touching the formation it "killed" it. I preferred Kickapoo Caverns and the Caverns of Sonora a lot more. Even Inner Space Caverns and Natural Bridge were very exciting to see. Longhorn is cool, but didn't give me that WOW-factor, but I still had a ton of fun on a Sunday morning.

The ride was smooth, the boat well maintained. Fresh iced tea or water available. Clean restrooms. Upper or lower decks both have plenty of seating and availability for pictures. Tim came around close to the end of the tour and offered to take pictures of us as a wonderful reminder of what a great time we had! It's a great experience! I highly recommend it!

I tried to contact the guide company by email and text, with no response. Later, a text arrived inviting us to go on a 5:30 PM tour. No apologies, no reasons for the no-show. Very unprofessional. Our conclusion was that we were of no consequence and could be ignored unless we reached out. IF the tour site had specified that a minimum of guests were needed to have the tour; and IF we were informed of that, we may have responded differently. Badly done. It sounds like others had a positive experience. Be sure to verify that the tour is really happening. They will not.

The hosts clearly put a lot of effort into restoring the upstairs living area, as it is clean and inviting without losing any of the appeal of the history of the 200 year old hotel. The floors, ceiling, and doors are beautiful and appear to be restored, original elements from long ago. As far as modern stuff, the AC cranks, the mini kitchen is efficient and nicely stocked, and the bathroom is modern, clean, and has a cool shower. Lastly, I am generally a skeptic when it comes to anything paranormal, but try to keep an open mind. Over the course of the night, my wife and I encountered several odd little incidents that led me to believe that the place may very well be haunted. My wife heard children playing at 3 am, saw an orbish shadow drift across the bedroom transom, and heard a grocery bag rustle loudly during the night. I saw shadowy movements at the edges of my eyesight several times, and heard some weird, unidentifiable noises. Never felt anything negative, though, so these must be some of the nice entities that are said to dwell with the hotel. If you love a little spooky, a whole lot of history, and a pleasant and comfortable stay, the Magnolia Hotel is for you.

There are 5 tours available to choose from (some require a minimum of a group of 6 though) and are free! This walking tour allows for you to give any tip that you want after it is done. You are under no obligation to tip anything, but it would be nice for the tour guide to get something from you. During our visit, we only went to the downtown tour, where you meet outside of the state capitol. My husband wanted to check out another tour but during our visit, it was raining and I just didn't want to walk in light rain and mud (yeah I'm a sore sport). For most tours, you just show up at the location. There is no need to RSVP (you can see the dates and time available on the company's website). For our tour (about 90 minutes), we had Laura as our tour guide. Because this tour is all outside, we brought our little girl dog (she told us this was her first time having a dog on her tour). For this tour, it leaves the capitol, heads to the small park across the street, then to the governor's mansion (where you will most likely see either the governor's golden retriever, Pancake or their newly adopted little puppy golden retriever), various murals, other historical places and ends at the Driskill Hotel. We learned so many things on this tour, the 3 of us enjoyed it (I am sure my little girl was happy to mark her territory as we walked along) and would highly recommend this tour. The walking is pretty easy and so most should be able to be fine.
