Customer experiences
This is a cool little side trip if you’re in the area. We took the 45 minute tour which begins in the small gift shop. The walk through the cave is fairly narrow so it was difficult to hear the guide since we were in the back. The scenery was somewhat interesting but not compared to the bigger caves in Virginia or Pennsylvania. If you have an hour to kill it’s a good choice.
Our family went today 8/2/25, we got there about 9:45 and our tour started at 10. Our tour guide was Alex and he was amazing! I would suggest getting there when they open as you have a better chance of having a smaller group, ours was 6 but they can be as big as 25! Crystal lake cave was about a 2 1/2 hour drive for us but it was worth it, it was a great experience! Alex also mentioned the Mines of Spain that are nearby and that is something else I would suggest to check out. I would definitely go back!!
Great experience. Pearl was a great tour guide. Very professional but felt like our friend of a long time. A ton of knowledge and we all were interested in parts of the cave crystals that were named. Overall we’ll check it out again. Also they provided jackets for you to borrow the caves are 55 Degrees.
This place was SO cool! Stopped in for a tour this past weekend. Our tour guide was Brock and he was super informative about the cave and also made the tour fun while giving plenty of cool facts and science of the cave. I was in awe of all the formations in the cave. Definitely was worth the $20 for the tour!
