I have been lucky enough to visit many caverns and cave systems but this one is special. There are many other caverns that may be larger or deeper or complex but I have never been to one where you can have an event inside it. A group that I visited had a special evening event at this place. Driving to get to the location can be a little tricky and involves an unusual traffic route to arrive at it. There seemed to be plenty of parking right off the road in the grassy area in front of the entrance. The entrance is wide with a basic sign explaining the cave. We even had drinks and food catered and served inside the cavern with 3 seating areas for groups to spread out. The lighting was strip lighting spread throughout the system and gave a really nice ambiance to the entire affair. The cave was really cool and even with the uneven floor was one of the coolest dinner event experiences I have had. I would highly recommend going and seeing this sight for anyone having a chance to make an even special or visit an event that is held there.

This was the highlight of my time in Knoxville. We went to Dr Bass Bats and Bones Tour. Dr Bass is an absolute sweetheart and you can tell he genuinely enjoys meeting people. We had the privilege of meeting him for pictures and a book signing before his presentation. We enjoyed walking around the cave as well. Dr Bass is truly a gem.

Saw The Descent. Older movie but it was kinda fun to see a scary movie in a cave about monsters in a cave. Could improve the experience by either hanging the screen or putting on a platform. Highly recommend bringing your own chairs, the ones they provide are the old school metal card table chairs

This was My first visit to the caverns. While it was small, they did a great job having it all decked out for Christmas. Of course, it was busy and parking was limited. Staff was friendly.

We went on Sunday at 3pm. Parking on a hill squeezed in our truck... it was mostly full when we got there. We walked to the line which took around 20 minutes to get to ticket booth. $12 each Characters greeted guests. They had a mix of craft sellers, coffee and carnival food offered. Walked down a slick steep incline into the cave. They have lights and blow up characters and music. You can stand in another line inside to take a photo with Santa or grinch. They had vendors inside cave. It took about 30 minutes to walk through. We didn't have kids with us. It was an ok time. Something to check out
