This is our second time visiting the caverns, this time with our two young children (6 and 2). Our son absolutely loved it. The guides are very informative and they have fun with it. I love the fact that they have named all of the different formations. Will be going back again!

There were 7 of us in our group. Jim was our guide and he was very informative and entertaining. The caverns were neat to see and interesting to think of the history there. It was not a difficult walk but some stairs were involved. As with the other reviewer, I would recommend the restaurant. The food was good and portions were large. The drive to the caverns took us through a working (what I believe) was a limestone quarry - very dusty and made us wonder if we were headed the right way.

I gave Seneca Caverns a Very Good rating because the restaurant was excellent and the cave was average. If you visit Seneca Caverns make sure you eat in the restaurant. The cave is a wet cave with several formations but nothing very unique. Our Guide was okay but i wish she would of told more of the history of the cave. If you are in the area and wanting to visit a cave and you have to choose between Smoke Hole Caverns or Seneca Caverns definitely choose Seneca.

I found these caverns by accident while driving through West Virgina. Since it was off season I was the only person on the tour. My guide was a young man who was very familiar with the cave and being a private tour I was able to see many things a large tour would not. The cave is worth the trip.

Our guide was Jared and he was very informative, answered all our questions, and we never felt rushed. Also, the other staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend seeing this cavern the formations are awesome.

Though a lovely cave with interesting geology (flooding and sediment fill within a limestone cave) this was not a wild cave tour. It was simply a show cave with steps, wood chips, and 100% head clearance while they decked you out in pads, a helmet, and simple harness to "poke around" in 10 foot passages along the show route.I've led a variety off trail cave tours and was greatly disappointed and felt cheated by being misled into thinking this was an off trail "wild" cave tour. It should immediately be stopped as a legitimate offering and only the standard show cave tour should be offered.There are other off trail or wild cave tours in West Virginia - that are truly that. Without the false advertisement.

For a bit of perspective this was my 7 cave tour. The bad stuff first: I found too many people here because the cave itself barred me from either hearing or seeing the items the tour guide was speaking about during the entire tour. Being at the back shouldn't interfere with the quality. Also lighting I found to be sparse for a lit cave tour. They don't allow you to bring your own flashlight?? Walking back was not expected- its a good uphill hike especially for a couple that were older. The tour guide went back to get them with a golf cart. So far this is the only cave that has an exit that doesn't provide coverage that I know of. The good stuff: the cave itself has some incredible views of flowstone, calcium deposits and the like. Everyone at the front liked the tour as they could see specific things our tour guide was pointing out.. by the time we walked there he was way ahead and didn't stay behind to show the back of the crowd. (25 people in a tight space sucks) if you want a cool mix of space and views my recommendation is Grand Caverns. If you want really showy- Luray Caverns but go early...

This tour was educational however the cavern is not as attractive as some other caverns. When you exit it is a quarter of a mile hike uphill to get back to the gift shop area, If it rains you would be soaked.

My Fiance and I went here on a vacation. I loved being able to go thru the cavern and see all the formations. Make sure you take a jacket and wear good shoes.

My husband and I visited Seneca Caverns on April 27, 2014. We brought our 4 year old daughter along with us and had a very nice time. As we had some time before the tour and the weather was so nice, our daughter had fun playing at the water sluice mining for gemstones. She was also fascinated by the bin of hematite (magnetic) stones inside the gift shop.As other reviewers have stated, there are narrow passages to navigate as well as some (narrow at times) stairs to maneuver. There are a few low passages as well which make wearing hard hats a necessity. There were a few puddles along the paths so wear appropriate footwear. There is also a point during the tour in which your guide will turn out all lights, so if you're taking young children be aware of that. (My daughter says this was her favorite part, lol!) Also, there is a bit of a hill to climb when you exit the cavern. 4 yrs. old was an ok age to take our daughter to explore this cave; I probably wouldn't recommend trying it any younger (little fingers might want to reach out and touch the formations and they ask that you don't because the oils from our fingers can discolor and inhibit further formation.)Restrooms are located in the restaurant next door. We didn't have a chance to try out the food at the restaurant, but maybe we will on our next visit.Our guide, Jim, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, we had a lot of fun and would recommend this tour to others!
