Seneca Caverns

We really liked it here a lot, after the safari we went to the caverns. The tour took us to the bottom and could could drink some of water the ice cold water. This is an experience that I am so glad my kids had. We talked and enjoyed exploring the tavern with the guide.

The tour is an hour long and you go down 7 levels. It’s very steep the entire way down. On the 7^th level is the opening to river that you get to touch. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. There were 4 people in my group and I feel like it was the perfect amount of people. I was out of breath about half way down into the cavern. It is physically a hard work out and you have to be extremely careful. Luckily the whole place is lit very well.

It said «cavern» but has tiny formations. This is a cave with low ceiling and dangerous rocks to climb on they call «steps.» It was advertised as «cavern» but got a cave so disappointed BUT it is a good cave to explore. Be ready to climb and get a bit dirty. I recommend shoes that have good traction like hiking shoes, no sandals and no flip flops!!! Not good for kids under age 7 –just my thoughts. If you are over 5ft 4in tall this is going to be very uncomfortable as well for larger folks. Always look up because of low ceiling. I did like it but 3 stars because this should be advertised as a cave as there are no mature formations, but still interesting but will not go again. This is a review from someone who seeks out caverns, so I have seen mature formations to compare this to.

A fabulous place to see with family and friends! I have been on a lot of cave tours and none can compare to this. The guides clearly care a great deal about the cave and love their work — the detail in the tour was outstanding! My guide was funny and informative. Definitely recommend the «gemstone mining» after the tour. Tours leave every twenty minutes and last about an hour long. Don’t forget comfortable shoes and a jacket!

Seneca Caverns is a fun and unique side trip from Cedar Point – I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something «off the beaten path» and enjoy learning new things. It’s obvious the staff there care very much and take pride in what they’re sharing with travelers. I’ve never been in any other caves, so I can’t compare it to anything else, but I know Seneca doesn’t have the flashier features of other caves. It’s still very unique and well-​worth the trip if you’re in the area.
I visited Seneca Caverns with my cousin, on our way back to Chicago from Cedar Point. We originally meant to go to Cleveland, but decided against it because of a big event there. I was so pleasantly surprised after our trip to Seneca Caverns! It’s truly a unique natural attraction. They offer tours every 20 minutes to go down into caves that were caused by rock splitting; there’s a river that runs below it as well. In the tour, they take you down 200 feet below the surface, and it’s so neat they take you right through the basement of the tour center! You’re even able to touch or taste water from a real natural spring.
Our guide, Alaina, was very personable and knowledgeable. There were only 5 of us in our group, which was good because the spaces are very small. Beware, however, that it can be considered strenuous because the stairs are «natural,» and of varying levels. Exiting requires some climbing; I’m relatively healthy and was slightly short of breath on the way out. It’s really only good for those who are ambulatory and comfortable with confined, dim spaces. The caverns are lit with electricity, but there are some tight squeezes. I would not recommend it for children, unless they’re old enough to climb up and down stairs or other things easily and they’re not afraid of the dark. Older children, perhaps 6 and up, I think would be able to handle it.
All in all, it was refreshing to visit something different that wasn’t a chain after spending a weekend in Cedar Point and eating fast food. I really enjoyed it.

Okay, this my first cave ever been to so unable to compare with anything else.
Had one heck of a fun time. Very educational, our guide was very helpful and friendly.
Like what others said in their reviews. There are a lot of tight spaces, climbing, actually a bit on the physical side.
If your looking for something really different, this is it. Was completely stoked on the visit.

This is my second time on any cavern tour, and I was pleasantly surprised. This cavern is a great place for a visit, or to spend a couple hours doing something different.
This your is not for those too old, handicapped, or in bad physical shape. There are a lot of very cramped areas along the tour that would make it very difficult.
The cavern was fun and interesting for me and my teen age boys. It kept them entertained for a good 1.5 hours touring the cavern on a fun an educational tour.
If you have a couple of hours for something different, stop in and go 110 feet below the surface in the Seneca Caverns.

What a great destination off the beaton path. Great for kids and adults alike. Very informative information by staff, and very friendly. Very cool to be actually going down that far and to see an underground water channel. Good hour tour and very reasonably priced, would go again next time I’m out this way. Would not take children younger than 4 though, and if your kids do not follow your directions and are always wanting to do their own thing, might be better to go when older, because one could really easill slip the wrong way to god know where in the cavern. I took my 7 and 4 year old with the help of my wife and the kids did fine, and cant stop talking about it

Seneca Caverns is an hour long tour down into a giant hole in the rock under ground. It’s not so much of a cave as a narrow crack formed by various layers of rock collapsing upon itself. It is the largest fractured cave in the world boasting some of the worlds smallest (one inch) stalagmites!
It’s an entertaining tour that doesn’t have much oohs and ahhs, but very much worth driving out to see. If you or the kids like to explore this will be time worth the drive. Be prepared for lots of steep steps and low overhangs. In some places you come very close to crawling.
