The bats are gone; but the slippery steps, dripping walls and narrow passageways are here, along with beautiful reflecting ponds and a stunning waterfall! Loved it!

This was my second time here and it's still very cool. The marketing is a bit hokey but the caverns are neat. I'd say if you have the time or you come back, doing both Howe and the Secret caverns is worth it but if the line is too long at Howe, head on down to Secret, it costs less and there's usually little to no wait. The caverns are wet and chilly (50 degrees), so be prepared to wear pants, a sweatshirt and sneakers (no sandals). The floor can be slippery. The waterfall at the end is the best part and if you bring a change of clothes/shoes you can walk right in (the water is much warmer than the air). There are 103 stairs and the whole tour is walking.

We wanted to see the caverns but didn't think our five year old would last the 90 minute tour at Howe Caverns. The Secret Caverns are great. The entire tour is interactive and kept the attention of my five year old (plus he was free to get in). We had a great day and memories that will last a life time. I'm so glad we decided to go to the secret caverns.

this place is amazingly impressive . going down through staircase is classic and make you feel that it is the real deal that you are going under ground. it has also a waterfall at the end . totally worth for what they charge . wear properly if you are planning to visit the cave is around 52 degree year around .

I love Secret Caverns! Fascinating, really beautiful! Great prices, great gift ideas! I loved all the many colors that were unexpected to find. All the staff were friendly & helpful!

My 14 year old daughter wanted to go to Howe Caverns because she had never been there before. Since it was a hot day and I had not been there for some time, I thought this was a great idea. While looking at the Howe Caverns site, I saw a link to Secret Caverns. I had never heard of Secret Caverns and decided we should go there as well, since it is only five minutes away. Apparently, Secret Caverns was discovered by an engineer working on the Howe Caverns site (and by two unfortunate cows) Howe Caverns has elevators down to the caverns, paved walkways, handrails, boat rides and more. It is slickly operated, well known and it is a great place. But, Secret Caverns is the cool place, the lesser known caverns. I was pleasantly surprised by its simplicity when we got there. There is a 103 walk down to the cavern floor, many of the steps cut out of the rock. The walkway, while paved, has not been updated for many years. And I don’t think the walls are further than six or seven feet wide. But, don’t let that deter you because there are fabulous limestone formations and at the end, there is a 100 foot underground waterfall. All of this is what makes it a hidden gem. Our guide was humorous and folksy and made it a fun tour. The only caveat is that you have to walk back up those 103 steps. If you don’t get winded easy, it shouldn’t be a problem. I would recommend good shoes such as sneakers or hiking boots and a light jacket or sweater; like Howe Caverns, the temperature is about 50 degrees.

We did both Howe's Caverns and Secret Caverns and would pick this over Howe's because it's not as developed, more like what it might have been like back in 1929, although the stairs are an improvement to the ladders. We were there right at 10 when it opened, a group of 8, but had to wait for a tour for 25 minutes. The decor in the sales room goes back to the look of the 40's. One caveat… the bathrooms was filthy and there was no water to wash hands in sink in men's or women's bathroom. Use the Howe's rest rooms before going here. Had the department of health inspected, they would be shut down. Sad ending to a lovely cave adventure.

My husband & I have already been to Howe Caverns so we wanted something different. Enter Secret Caverns...it's a bit quirky with the signage but totally worth it. Our guide (I think his name was Joel or Josh - can't remember) did a great job explaining things and he had an awesome sense of humor. On the return trip back up, we walked in the dark (eerie but it definitely puts perspective on things). We liked this better than Howe because it's not as touristy and the cave (other than installing lights and stairs) is relatively untouched. We loved it.

We visited this past weekend and enjoyed it. It is different than the 2 caves I have visited in Kentucky. Not for those with a fear of tight spaces. There appeared to be very little altering and I felt like it was the raw, real deal.

This cavern is fantastic -- as close to spelunking as the unathletic can get! The features are very interesting to see and the waterfall is awesome. Be prepared for a wet path -- flip flops and sandals are not the best footwear for this tour. The only entry is by 108 damp steps of varying heights to walk down into the cave and back up at the end of the tour, but they do have a handrail. And of course the cavern is the usual 50 degree temperature of underground places. Don't miss seeing the ice cave near the entrance. We had a young man as our tour guide whose youthful laid back humor none the less provided good laughs and chuckles. There are picnic tables under shade trees which would be a great spot for lunch or a bite to eat; however, the only food available when we visited was from a food cart. All in all, it was a very interesting, fun, and worthwhile visit.
