Would you believe a dog was the first one in the hole at the top of the hill... followed by several inquisitive farm boys — that was in 1920. And in 1923, Dixie Caverns was open to the public. There have been many changes over the years in lighting and passageways, but the beauty of this cavern has entertained thousands from then `til now. Dixie Caverns is open for tours 363 days a year.

Love it, charmingly dated. "Wouldn't have it a any other way". Staff was knowledgeable upbeat and with plenty of whit. Acted like he enjoyed his job. Kids loved it, so did we.
Very interesting history behind the forming of the caverns. I really enjoyed the tour & our tour guide Elijah kept us well informed with his knowledge & humor. Also enjoyed the antique shop. A fun way to spend the day.
Very interesting and our tour guide was very informative and good with our granddaughters. The site also had antique vendors next to it. Fun day.
This was my first ever cave, and overall, it was an awesome experience! The prices for a ticket were worth every cent, and the tour wasn't too short or too long. The staff were very nice and entertaining, and the caves were super cool! Just hold on to the railings, it gets slippery the further in you go. I highly recommend you go here for your first cave! Shout out to our tour guide, Jacob!
What an awesome place off the side of the road. I didn't think the prices were bad and they have a decent size shop that you can grab souvenirs. The staff was very nice and very funny and thorough going through the caves.
