Fantastic tour! An enjoyable trip they the caverns. Great features and beautiful formations. The guide was knowledgeable and made the tour even more special.

This place was wonderful! The caves were absolutely beautiful and Tanner, our tour guide, was the best! They found cool formations within the caves and had their own fun with it! I loved every second of it!

Great fun any time but definitely on a rainy day like we had. Oakley was our tour guide and he did a great job telling us about the history of the caverns as well as all the geological formations. And they were spectacular! Our God is an amazing God!

Great tour! Theres a few flights of stairs that are pretty tedious. They are very steep and tall steps. My 2.5yr old son had a blast looking at all the formations and the water. Definitely worth the money!

I have never been in a cavern. This tour was incredible and I loved every minute of it. Bring your camera because the beauty buried under ground is absolutely fabulous. It’s a tour I will never forget.

Amazing trip! What great young guide boy, explained everything with details.

The guide was funny and entertaining. The caverns were wonderful. Had several kids with us and all of them enjoyed the experience. Ages 8-13 easily followed and enjoyed. A must do for families in Bristol.

I like the place well. The cashier can improve his customer service. The guide is well versed with knowledge.

Awesome experience. Very physical but I am not in good shape and I was able to endure the steps. It was well worth it. Highly recommend!

Having visited many caverns across the country we decided to visit this one that was a short distance off US 81. Although it was a small cavern it was chock full of many beautiful and ancient flow formations. The entrance is located a short walk from the Gift Shop/Ticket Office, that gets you ready for the stair challenges ahead during the tour. There are great surprises as you travel throughout these cavern rooms. They take many forms from; the various eye-candy formations, to headache rock, the cardiac stair challenge, the ancient flow stone creature (I didnt see it until I was preparing to post my pictures, I dont know if the owners know about this feature) and the little water falls to name a few. These caverns rooms have a good percentage of active formations, as well as ancient ones, including water which flows freely through this cavern system. The staff was friendly, helpful, informative and their prices are reasonable.We were thoroughly satisfied and enjoyed seeing this cavern system and would have given this attraction 5 stars, but there were two items that need attention in our opinion, in order for us to do so: 1- Handrails, because they are in a very moist environment they pitted, rough and vary in height and need maintenance to correct these issues. 2- Algae growth on some of the formations and areas where lights are placed. This issue threatens the long-term beauty of the formations in your cavern system and the satisfaction of your visitors who come to enjoy their beauty.

Fun and interesting tour, was approximately an hour long. Very beautiful

Had a Great Time at the Bristol Caverns. Our Tour guide Tanner was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. . i would request him on your first tour.

I have been waiting almost two years to have the time to see the bristol caverns and I can say it was worth it!Our guide Jonah was great with answering our questions and explaining the different formations and rooms of the caverns. We especially enjoyed the extra information about the non commercialised sections (non tour areas) and about the various creatures that live in the caves.I personally am looking forward to going back when it has been raining so I can see showerhead rock in all its glory.

One of the best caves we have been to, and weve been all over Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri. Very nice people, easy walk to the entrance, easy to find, no extreme price gauging in the shop, and they were very good about encouraging COVID 19 precautions. I would definitely recommend!

Jonah was a fantastic adventure guide. This was a great place and blew us away. Im glad to see this part of Gods creation being shared.

Ive always really enjoyed trips to Bristol Caverns. Interesting and informative for both children and adults, this is a great place for school field trips, family outings, a date or couples day, group trips, or just going with a couple of friends, etc. They have some great things in the gift shop, and a couple other things you can check out on the property while youre waiting for your tour to begin, or after you make it back above ground.

Beautiful caverns but the guide was terrible. There was 3 people in our group. He didnt know any history of the caverns and there were LONG PERIODS of AWKWARDNESS. We would have learned more by goggling the caverns.

This was a great experience! The staff and guides were super friendly, and the caverns are beautiful. Easily the best caverns I have visited so far.

I enjoyed the tour today, I wished there was more history given and it felt slightly rushed. It lasted about 45+ minutes and a good 5 minute walk to the cave, close to an hour Id say. I wished I was able to get more photos. I was also watching my 4 year old son so I may have missed a lot of what the tour guide said during the tour. The gift shop is nice and I bought myself some crystal/ fossils and my son a few things and the people working there are really nice and we enjoyed it. There is a few steep steps in the cave, one goes straight up and they are slippery and narrow steps. It is completely opened to the sides of you so if you have fear of heights or a toddler dont do it. They can fall! It goes high up there. My son was scared of those steps. Toddlers need to be able to walk well and hold make sure to hold their hand so Id say at least 3-4+ but I dont think a toddler will enjoy this because my son had no interest and was scared sometimes. He did like the areas shown with water more then anything. There was several steps throughout but only one set that made me a little short of breath and I walk at least 5 miles a day so you need to at least be a little in shape because the steps are steep. Thankfully Im 56 and 150. I used to be over 200lbs. I still have 20 pounds to lose. Im nearing 36 so not as fit as I used to be in my 20s especially with arthritis and spine surgery but I did it. :) That being said, the cave is absolutely beautiful and I would probably visit again sometime.

Beautiful cavern. Very knowledgeable young man leading our tour! Great job Jonah!!

Just as I remeber it years ago. Took 4 little girls (4, 5, 6, and 8) with me. They loved it. The tour guide enjoyed their company or so it seemed. Would definitely recommend going for fun with the entire family year around. Stays a steady 55-60 degrees year around

Great experience. Even with covid everyone was masked up. It was a great feeling to see employees and customers alike being responsible.

Worth a trip for a tour through the Caverns. Nice and cool for hot weather and feels nice in winter also. There is a constant temperature of upper 60s year round.

Really old caves some spots are steep. But really educated tour guides and very nice people work there. Also has a gift shop. BEST CAVE TOUR.

Great place. Best caverns in east TN.

Enjoyed the caverns. Our guide was fantastic. Would recommend.

Beautiful place and knowledgeable staff. Tour was very cool and lots of attention to detail. Gift shop was accommodating especially when we got caught in there from a downpour. Must see!

Great place. So wonderful to see what nature has to offer. I highly recommend taking the family.

Beautiful caverns. Not too strenuous for an arthritic woman... Worth the cost !

Absolutely loved this place, highly recommend!! didnt know our your guide,but he was awesome, young guy with glasses 5 stars to him too!!

Really beautiful caverns, a must visit if you are in town!

Tour guide was great. Please remember to tip the guides, most are young college kids.

Not a lot of people out right now so there wasnt too many people! And its cold down in the cave so if its a hot day out it will be a nice change. And the gift shop was very, very affordable! If you have bad knees its not for you though!

The drive in is very sketchy, but do not be scared away, this spot is amazing! The pictures we got were great, but being there was incredible!! Our guide was very funny, but full of knowledge. We thought theyd only show us a few things and be done, but they actually take you up and down stairs to see SO much. Highly recommend it. If you have babies that might cry, please be considerate and dont do this. The sound is amplified in the cave.

It was raining so we wanted to do something that would keep us out of it, and this was an exciting, unique way to spend the day. Our guide was funny, helpful, and just a wealth of information about the history of the caverns. There are a lot of stairs here, with varying degrees of steepness, so make sure to wear shoes that you trust.

Tyler great tour guide. Didnt use my hoodie. Was end of September . 16 bucks ea ticket . 1 hour tour. Some steep steps inside

The tour of the caverns was fascinating. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the grounds, and the hour-long tour didnt feel very long at all when you have fascinating cave structures to view. Its difficult to describe how impressive the cave is via photos, so you should plan a visit. Plenty of parking, and the staff were very friendly.

Not a bad place to visit if you are trying to kill some time and want something to do.Nothing spectacular about it, but it was okay .

Better than I originally expected. Nice tour and interesting. For the price, I would definitely return.

Beautiful and cool. good guide. Moderate to slightly heavy activity. Ok for Healthy, fit seniors

Excited to add another cavern to my Bucket List. Reasonably priced, knowledgeable tour guide, & intriguing caverns. Great experience.

Very enjoyable tour through the caverns! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history here.

An hour long underground tour is provided. The young man that was our guide had not been there very long & his presentation showed it. All the stairs & paths are original to the 1935 build. Stairs are sometimes very narrow & steep & long. Not something I would recommend if there is difficulty in climbing stairs or with breathing issues. The natural structures inside the cave are amazing. There is some new work going on but is a long way from being used.

Great place, my 7 yr old daughter had fun and was able to go through it. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable!

Great educational experienceill go again!!

Surprisingly large and dramatic caverns, tucked in a quiet little area decently close to the highway - great road trip break. Very much enjoyed our tour and our enthusiastic tour guide, Eric - he was welcoming, full of good facts, and even found us a cave salamander at the end!

Very interesting. I wasnt aware of the history that occurred here, back in the Cival War days. The tour guides are excellent! Its dark, slippery and some leg work is needed to maneuver throughout the caverns. We really enjoyed it!

It is best to call ahead for your tour reservations.

It a really awesome place to see

The tour was tons of fun! The guide was very knowledgeable about the caverns and their history. I would definitely love to come back! (Photo of Lovers Leap)

Beautiful caverns, great tour guide.

Definitely worth the money. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.

We did a detour while coming back from Tennessee. We thought to give it a try. It didnt fail us. We had a great time here. Though not so extravagant like Luray caverns, but its no less. The instructor was through enough. Its a visit worth for

We had a very cool trip through the Caverns. Great history explained by the guide, and some outrageously beautiful features. You wont be disappointed. We entered the first stop and were blown away by the limestone stalagmites and stalactites, and from there the caves just kept going. Worth the stop if your in Bristol.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. So much packed into one tour. Some of the most breath taking formations I have ever seen. Paved walkways, some steep inclines and stairs. But well worth the trip. Not the biggest cave in the area, but the most exciting. Go in off season for a more personal guided tours.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The caverns are not as big as others I have visited in Spain. It would be cool if they had colored lights like other caverns.

I had a great time here!! Everyone was so nice... it really is SUCH a cool place

A great workout,amazing history,awwsome tour guide

Extremely nice place ! tour guide was exceptionally great.Nice little stores will

We really loved visiting the caverns...they were beautiful and well lit!

Beautiful caverns and the owner is so humble. Its not often you see the owner of a business working the register. We plan on going back with our family.

My daughter and I love coming here to see if we can notice anything new or just to revisit old memories here. I have been here personally 4 times and my daughter has been here twice. Highly recommended.

Very cool place to visit and they did a great job adapting to the covid restrictions to keep everyone safe.

I went as part of a fieldtrip. It was beautiful inside the caverns. The tour guide was awesome. He had some great stories to share along the way that made it quite enjoyable.

What an impressive natural wonder. My 26 year old son was apprehensive when I suggested we spend part of our Sunday afternoon there, once we entered he said it was awesome!

Loved it!Awesome formations and great tour length. There are steps, but not hard because they are spread out. Great guides and atmospher in general. Cute gift shop as well!Top 10 caves for sure!

Beautiful cave and friendly service

When driving there and entering the gift shop you’d never expect what’s below. This is an affordable family friendly trip. Amazing stories to be told and sights to see. Be aware, if you cannot walk or use stairs well this may not be the place for you although they try to accommodate as much as they can. This is also posted throughout the gift shop where the tickets are purchased.

Really enjoyed this cavern. This is my fifth cavern that I have been too. Very large rooms and a nice long tour. The guide knowledgeable and friendly.LOTS of stairs in this one so not for the faint of heart.

We had a really good time here. Our tour guide, Chad, was very knowledgeable and allowed us to stop whenever, take our time, take pictures, and made you feel comfortable. Definitely worth seeing.

The carverns were so beautiful and she was amazing and made the tour so unique and fun!

The caverns are really nice. The guide we had wasnt very knowledgeable though. Felt as though we were being rushed the whole time especially while trying to take pics. Other then that was a great time.

Beautiful caverns in Bristol, Tn.

Discovered this place by fluke while road grooms it from Houston, TX to Toronto, ON. The caverns were pretty neat and didnt take too long to explore. Admission was fairly reasonable from what I can remember.

Unfortunately temporarily closed due to COVID with a sign in the window of the gift shop. Looks like a really nice place though and cant wait to come back and see it once things improve!

Great time with a knowledgeable staff

A unique and intresting tour experience, worth the stop for certain!

This is the best cave Ive seen outside of Cave City, Kentucky!!

Beautiful. Very nice tour guide Oakley.

Bristol Caverns is a beautiful place that is filled with history and very interesting stories. The guides are knowledgeable about the history and are patient and kind. I am disabled and cant walk fast my guide was patient and did not leave me nor did she rush me. There are many things to see in the caverns and the gift shop has many beautiful things to buy. So many that you will spend a fortune (I did) but its so worth it. I would like to say that though we did not know and they will not tell you PLEASE TIP YOUR GUIDE!!!!! Worth the trip and money.

This was breath taking beautiful. Our guide was awesome.

Loved this place for years will be back

A real gem in the Bristol area, completely exceeded my expectations

Guide was great. Its a family owned cave and the guide was part of the family. Beautiful caverns with formations that will ignite your creativity.

Good place to visit. Loved our guide. Very knowledgeable

It is awesome! Great history lesson and so much to see!

Great place to for kids Wear non-slip shoes, wet environment, lot of environment, fun. ️

Was near by and really a neat cave

Our family had a great time here! We even brought along our 2 children, ages 6 and 7. The tour was very nice. You should definitely come in good walking shoes with good grip because, as with most caves, the ground was mostly wet and could potentially be slippery. Along with the fact that there are a decent amount of stairs to climb. It was very nice that they had handrails for most of the tour. It was very well lit so you could see the rock formations very well. The staff was friendly and the tour was quite enjoyable!

This place is awesome! We got there just in time for the last tour and was afraid we were too late, but we got to see the caves. They are beautiful and the people are great, too. Great place to get out of the heat and do some exploring!

Beautiful caverns tucked away. Its amazing and beautiful.

Wow. Great experience in a surprisingly good sized, beautifully ornamented, Tennessee cavern. Wonderful rock formations. Quite a few steps (duh its a cave). Wouldnt recommend for small children.

Loved it, well explained....

A ton of fun, our kids loved it. Wet cave, so wear a hat or hood.

Awesome. Worth the $16.

Awesome place to visit!! Lots of steps. Guides were great. I highly recommend a visit!!

We enjoyed the cavern and tour guide. If you have an imagination thru a lens you will enjoy this very much taking pictures. It truly is a wonderful experience.

Great place to visit while in town. Beautiful caverns and rock formations. Great for kids.

Beautiful caverns at a reasonable price. Fair warning; if youre not in decent shape look for a cavern with fewer stairs and a shorter hike to the entrance.

Eric was the absolute best tour guide EVER!!! Im not as young and thin as I used to be, but he was so patient with me climbing those stairs. Super knowledgeable and taught me a trick to remember stalagmites vs stalactites. Made us excited about learning the history! Thank you Eric! Youre an amazing young man!!!
