    Must do off route 66
    What a fantastic surprise this place was. Kyle was our tour guide and she was brilliant- her love and interest of the caves shone through. The staff in the visitor centre were also friendly and welcoming. Great attraction on our Route 66 tour.

    Great Family Experience……
    Even the property and grounds surrounding the cave were beautiful! The entire experience exceeded our expectations. The details of the cave tour, and tour guide (Mark) were fantastic. Our kids (3 & 9 yrs) were engaged and enjoyed it. You can’t beat the price of Fantastic Caverns compared to many other tours out there. After the tour for an additional $5 per person- you can upgrade each ticket to a season pass which we opted to do!

    Amazingly safe & comfortable way to explore awesome beautiful caves. Pictures can’t do it justice. U gotta be there!
    Really amazing experience. We’re older but fit sisters wanting to visit caves safely & comfortably. I didn’t expect that we could have this easy of a journey with the quality of natural beauty. Our guide was extraordinary! His educational dialog had wit & charm & reverence for natural wonders. Our driver gave us the perfect ride w/ enough of adventure to add thrills without worry. I really want to go back. There’s so much to see & feel in these caves that one trip isn’t enough. We’re grateful & wanting more of this company’s excellent customer service & their awe - sharing appreciation for each of us. Don’t miss the gift shop! High quality merchandise & friendly efficient cashier. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this app but I had to share how special this adventure turned out to be. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful Cavern
    Fantastic caverns is stunning. Our guide was good and relayed a lot of history re: the cave. I like the fact we could ride rather than walk. The group picture was a nice gift but I wish the people at the back of the tram could be seen better. I only knew it was us because I knew where we were sitting. I didn’t give 5 stars because I thought the price was a little high ($90 for 2 seniors and a 16 yr old) is pricey for a family.

    Fantastic!
    It's a great way to see the caverns, which was awesome. There were some great views. You ride in a tram and don't have to do any walking in the cavern. Our guide was very knowledgeable so in addition to being an enjoyable experience it was also educational. Our group really enjoyed it and it was a great way to spend some time if you are in the area. They give you a photo of the group in the tram after the tour. We drove from Branson for this experience. I would highly recommend this if you are in the area!

    A Great Tour!
    The road signs got me. I'm the only one in my family of four who wanted to delay our road trip to see this, but in the end everyone enjoyed it. Our wait for the next tour was about 20 mins and there was a nice gift shop with a big popcorn machine selling popcorn for about $1/bag, which the kids loved. Darla was a fun tour guide and she did a great job of including our 5 year old who had lots of questions. I personally would have preferred a walking tour, but my boys appreciated the ride and it was nice to enjoy a cave without having to hear them complain about being tired of walking (even though we had been road tripping for hours on end). There was a whole group 5x7 photo that was included with our admission ticket - not the greatest quality print, but a cool keepsake. All in all, it was a great way to top off our trip on our way out of MO and I'm glad we stopped.

    Educational and fun!
    I went with my 7 year old grandson and we really enjoyed the tour! He was fascinated and soak up all the information about the cavern. Our guide Larry was so nice, informative and fun! I’m so glad we went! We had the best time!

    Excellent!
    Very nice place. Good flat parking. A couple of old jeeps and stills in the showroom. Also a gift store. This is a driving tour, so very nice for kids, folks with injury, or limited mobility. They load you up in a jeep with a wagon on the back and take you in. The tour lasts about an hour. Our tour guide was Darla I think. She was awesome! Gave lots of historical info as well as science info about the cave. This is a great experience!

    A fun, beautiful experience
    This is my first experience with Fantastic Caverns and it was lots of fun. The entrance lobby is bright and beautiful with informative displays. We rode trams into the cavern and it was amazing! A couple times we had to duck our heads as the overhead part of the cave was so low which was actually kind of fun and made it more real. We saw beautiful formations of stalagtites and stalagmites - our tour guide was engaging and very knowledgable. I have visited other caves and this one is a good one, for sure!
