    Remi loved the cave tour!

    We had a great experience on the cave tour at Fantastic Caverns. Our tour guide, Andy, was knowledgeable and entertaining, providing us with a great understanding of the cave's history. She also added some humor, which made the tour even more enjoyable. One unique aspect of the tour was that we got to ride in a jeep / wagon down into the cave. It was a cool and exciting experience, adding to the adventure of exploring the caverns. The ride was smooth and comfortable with Andy navigating. We were also thrilled that the tour was pet-friendly, as we were able to bring our dog along. It was wonderful to be able to share this experience with our pup and create a unique memory together. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty and history of the cave especially with your well behaved pup.

    We loved our visit!

    Part of our planned visit to Springfield MO was Fantastic Caverns. It did not disappoint. Funny enough all the darkness in the caverns made our pup fall asleep. Lol. She did wonderful on the tram ride. The tour guide was excellent. The facility was very accommodating as well. Highly recommended.

    Fun for everyone

    We really enjoyed visiting the cave and our dog loved riding along with us. The staff was friendly and loved having our dog on the tour. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

    Excellent Place For All

    Love every bit of our experience at the park. Our guide came and seated us before everyone else and right behind her on in the Jeep. She made sure we were comfortable before getting the rest of the passengers. The outside park was also dog friendly, they do have a walking trial not sure about that but what I seen it was paved. The area has picnic tables for lunch . Win win in our Book. Great place for all ages.

    Fantastic!

    Myles was absolutely fantastic with my dog! He even allowed him to rid up front with him despite being a large dog!

    The rest of the staff also loved him! Very welcoming vacation spot for dog owners.

    Will definitely bring Duke back soon!

    Really great experience

    This is a really cool place. The staff and tour guides were wondeful. Everyone was so friendly and amazing. I'm lucky that I got to leave with my dog. There was a little bit of a wait because the tour vehicles can only accommodate so many types of alternate passengers, which is completely understandable. If you get a chance, check this place out.

    Awesome people, cool tour

    I can't say enough nice things about all the people at Fantastic Caverns. Our tour guide was great, and about four of the staff cuddled and held our dogs even as we were walking inside the gift area. They were sooo kind and dog friendly there. The cave tour was cool and we got to ride in front with our dogs in our laps. We enjoyed it and really appreciated being able to bring the dogs since it was too warm to leave them in the car.

    Best cave tour ever

    We got VIP seating in the front of the jeep with our dog. A special little section to our own. The caves were well lit so it is easy to see the structure. It was the highlight of our trip.

    Fantastic

    We had a great ride through the caverns. We were told dogs would always be allowed because the cave was found by a dog many years ago. One of our dogs even got to ride shotgun in the jeep for a bit.

    Awesome Tour

    Driving through Springfield I stumbled upon the Fantastic Caverns. I called to see if I could bring my dog, because who wants to leave their dog in the car. They were so excited and it was not a big deal at all to bring the dog on the tram. It was a fun experience for both me and my dog! She was generally calm, but was growling at a bat at one point during the tour. A fun thing to do, about 10 minutes off the highway.
