REVIEWS OF Bluff Dwellers Cave IN Missouri

Kevin Powell

This is an amazing place to see. My family and I checked this cave out and had a fantaatic time. Our tour guide Mary Jane did a fantastic job! She was very knowledgeable about the cave and very comical. We had alot of fun. Keep up the great work you all are doing! Thank you Mary for the great time!

Natasha Michael

Cool cave! Worth the experience! We had Cory as our guide and he was awesome. We weren't initially sure if we were going to take the tour but he talked us into it. We were not let down. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the "fruits" of the cave. We also got some cool jewelry from the gift store and the post cards are free! Would definitely recommend.

MO Jo Mama

The best!!! My kid loved it, the guide was awesome and knowledgeable!!! Please take your whole family!!! This place is so much fun!

Emily Van

This place was great! Very family friendly (I have 3 children between the ages of 2 and 6 years). The tour guide was great and funny. I loved the history of the place and they also had such a neat gift shop to walk through which included many large display cases of minerals/rocks to look at.

Jared Vansandt

Mary Jane was the absolute BEST tour guide!

Ann Todd

We took this cave tour with our guide Cory, recently. I have been in a lot of caves including Luray, Carlsbad, and Mammoth Caves. This tour was thoroughly enjoyable and was one of my favorite cave experiences ever. There were many wet cave features we got to see up close, there were a number of salamanders in the cave and the tour lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. Cory explained the cave with historical information and his own brand of humor that put even the youngest of the group at ease. It was not a strenuous tour, but we saw a large amount of the cave and even had a few points on our walk where we had to watch our heads and some narrow, but not too narrow passageways, which enhanced the cave experience. I would highly recommend a visit to this cave if you are in the area.

Carson Trainer

Wonderful tour and highly recommended for everyone. Rob was a fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Easy 5 stars!!!

Sally Pullman

Great experience with a group field trip! Would recommend!

Tamela Martin

My husband and I travel with his work and we love to look for hidden gems to visit wherever we go, and this one is! Loved the cave, the story and the guide Cory. So much so we returned with our grandsons when they came to stay with us over spring break and requested him as our guide. Let me say he sparked an interest in them to learn and explore more ,definitely a must stop for the entire family and gorgeous cave!

Pamela Schimanski

Our family had a great experience at this cave. Mary Jane was our animated, funny, and fun-loving tour guide. I would recommend her again. Also, plan on spending time in the gift shop, museum, assay station and "cave crawl" simulator (wooden structure that kids and adults can crawl through to get a feel for exploring a cave). Beautiful location, well worth the trip!

Jeff Yeager

Pretty cool place. Tour price is $17/adult but it was worth it. Tour guide Cory was pretty funny and livened up the group. Kids 4-11 are $8, and kids 3 & under are free. The tour was a little over a hour.

Brooke Nelson

Our tour guide Cory was awesome! Very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Overall fun experience!

Stephanie Jones

We had a great time at Bluff Dwellers Cave! The grounds are lovely and the cave is fascinating! We easily walked through all areas of the cave with our awesome tour guide, Cory. (Thanks, Cory, you rock!) The entire staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Great for all ages! We will definitely be visiting again!

Joseph Horman

Beautifully displayed cave with great features and fun tours. Anytime of year the temperature is just about perfect, all around a good quick stop if you have an hour and a half to two hours to kill

Shawn Longworth

Fun place to get out of the heat...

Wanita Williams

This was a good trip, about a 1 hour guided tour. The lady tour guide was funny!!!

Joe Buss

Our guide Cory combined history, science, core knowledge and humor that made our visit extraordinarily fun! The museum had some interesting artifacts and the cave was awesome!

Leonelle Nash

Great cave with a funny guide. Mary Jane was very funny.

Beckie Block

Went with my family amd we had a blast. Our guide, Mary Jane was hilarious. She was very knowledgeable about the cave and kept it interesting and informative with her sense of humor. The cave itself was beautiful, and after the tour we had a blast, panning for treasures with the bags of "dirt" you buy in the gift shop. We uncovered gems, fossils and arrowheads of all shapes, sizes and colors. Would definitely go back... but only if Mary Jane is our guide. :)

Amanda Beeson

Our guide Cory was very entertaining and informative. Worked well with the small group we had. Just two couples. Sometimes it's hard to keep a tour rolling with smaller groups! Good job, Cory. Loved the cave. Been in many and this one was super cool and had some awesome passages.

Kelley Johnston

Absolutely loved getting to walk through the cave, Cory are guide was very informative on the history of the cave and also VERY funny! We definitely enjoyed are time here and will be returning in the future!

Jerry Padron

Very interesting cave tour, Corey was a great tour guide

Bobbi Hannah

Our tour guide was Cory and he did a awesome job explaining the different rock formations throughout the cave. He even gave us a few laughs while doing the tour. I would go back and visit

Peter Etchells

This is definitely worth a visit. Friendly and fun guide. Thank you Mary Jane from the boy from across the pond!

Jerry Ruzicka

Great cave...great tour with Cory!

Hal Grant

What to do on a hot and humid summer day? This is the question we had to answer. How about a visit to Bluff Dwellers Cave! I can't say enough positive things about our visit. The temperature in the cave is a refreshing 56 or so degrees (perfect for that hot and humid day). The cave itself has been developed just enough to enable a visitor to get around easily but not so much so that you lose the beauty and feel of the cave experience. The passageways and geological formations are fantastic. Our tour guide, Robert, was great. His passion, knowledge, and humor took the experience to another level. He was able to relate to the oldest and youngest of our group with ease while telling us about the cave's discovery, development, geological features, and history. I've been to many caves in my time, this is one of the best. When its hot and humid but you want to do something fun, visit Bluff Dwellers Cave. You won't be sorry.

Roy Wilson

This was my 10 year old son's first cave experience and it could not have been better. Our guide, Mary Jane, was very knowledgeable and kept our attention with great interaction and information. This cave is easily accessible to most people, yet respected by the Bluff Dwellers team. Highly recommend.

Mrs Farmer

Great experience! Easy to walk through, lots to see. Tour guides were super helpful. Amazing gift shop! Lots of rocks and gems! Very impressed!!

Bill Buskirk

One of the most interesting caves we ever went into. Cory our guide was entertaining and informative. After the tour we bought a large bag of gravel containing arrows heads gem stones and fossils and both had a lot of fun washing the fine sand out and finding the good stuff .

TD Smith

Great Cave and tour. Thank You Mary Jane!

Diane Ridlen

Cavern Tavern tour was great success. Educational tour by Bluff Dwellers Cave was great. Beer tasting was fun and loved the personalized beer glass. BBQ food truck was very tasty. Looking forward to the second annual event.

callie ashcraft

MaryJane was an excellent cave tour guide. She had great information and funny jokes.

Ben Boyher

Beautiful cave. Great tour. Our tour guide, Mary Jane, was very sweet. Her sense of humor coupled to her knowledge of the cave, kept the whole group entertained and having fun.

Paul Spangler

Kids loved it. Great place to visit on a super hot summer day 60 degrees in the cave

Brittany Martin

We had a blast at the cave today! Our guide Lana was great with the kids and made it fun & informative! It's the perfect homeschool field trip and a great activity for a hot or stormy day when you want to get out of the house but don't want to be outside. It's very clean and well kept. We'll definitely go back!

Bonnie Weber

What an awesome tour, our tour guide Mary Jane was great. She was so informative, nice and funny. We had a great time. I would highly recommend this cave tour.

This is definitely a must do if you're within 2 hours of the place, worth the drive and the cost our tour guide Mary Jane was full of knowledge and funny she took her time and didn't rush us answered any and all questions. All the staff was very nice and helpful I will bring my grandkids next time.

Kimberly Palmer

Mary Jane was the best tour guide we could have asked for! Awesome cave to see!

Steve Roosevelt

This place was fabulous, all of the natural beauty of the underground. It's well worth the money to pay and go in and check out

Stan Stallbaumer

We had a wonderful guide named Lana. She kept us well informed and thoroughly entertained as we explored the cave. The cave itself is a true gem and 56 degrees felt mighty good in contrast to humid SW Missouri climate. This is a family friendly destination that I highly recommend.

Harley Galland

What an incredible experience! We live just a few hours from here and never knew about this amazing cave. Mary Jane, our guide, was knowledgeable about the cave and added a nice touch of Ozarks' humor. We were able to visit with the owner as he worked on the landscaping and the cave manager (a geologist) who spent some time with us answering questions about the land and the cave features. This is a must see place for anyone in the area and worth the drive for anyone else. Deserves more than 5 stars!

Lisa Harris

My husband and I visited Bluff dwellers cave on 6/8/19. It was beautiful and full of history. We were fortunate enough to be the last two people to go through on this day. Our guide Cory rocked it!!! Cory was very informative without being dull. He was interactive with us and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend taking this hour long tour! Thank you so much CORY

Elizabeth Schmidtberger

This cave is perfect for little ones. My 6 yo walked through it was ease, and I was able to carry my 2 yo through the whole tour. Our tour guide Cory was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Fiona S

My family and I had a fantastic time at this lovely cave. The area surrounding it was beautiful and the cave itself was quite whimsical. We saw some the featured wildlife including the western slimy salamander, the cave salamander, and a cave crayfish. The staff were welcoming and friendly and our guide, a spunky, and intelligible lady by the name Mary Jane, made our tour and time there lot's of fun and a worth it stop on our trip. 11/10 would spelunk again.

Dennis Couch

Interesting formations, very well preserved. Newly-upgraded lighting in much of the cave is well done and blends in nicely with the natural rock. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the cave and the surrounding area. I've been to many caves over the years and would definitely recommend it.

Steven Burkett

Friday July 19th, 2019- we went to hear about how caves were apart of Beer history and sample some brew by Whistling Springs Brewery. Our tour guide was Cory and he was entertaining, educating, and our journey throught the cave enjoyable. The beer was outstanding too!

Amber Yoder

Definitely worth the visit and we will go back! The cave and it’s formations are beautiful. Our tour guide Mary Jane was informative and entertaining!! Loved the history of how the cave was found and that it’s still owned and operated by the same family, which you can learn all about in the gift shop.

tina ahhee

Went there on a Sunday. Nice and quiet. Only a hand full of people in our group. The guide was very knowledgeable about the cave, very outgoing, which made the tour even better. We want to go back this month (October) they do a Halloween special where you get to take lanterns with you through the cave. Sounds like fun!

Misty Wacker

We had a great time here our tour guide was awesome!

Rod Henry

We had a great time. Nicole was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide. It's amazing to tour a cave with a real geologist. She was also very kind on the phone telling my wife, who is claustrophobic, exactly what to expect. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Ronda Wiltfong

this place was so wonderful we got in the water we went exploring around the caves we just did everything all afternoon it was beautiful.

Kris Koehler

Yesterday (7/28) was my birthday, and my friend suggested we visit the cave as a "new experience" for me. I'd never been in a cave system before and thought it would be a lot of fun. We started the visit in the gift shop, which had a really nice array of souvenirs and gifts. Cory was our tour guide, and was extremely knowledgeable about the caves, and he was quite entertaining as well. The caves themselves were quite beautiful! I look forward to visiting again, I believe my husband and children would greatly enjoy it!!

Catherine Stroup

We love the place! Beautiful place. The cave is amazing. Cory, or tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. A great way to spend a hot day.

Nicole , our tour guide, who is a geologist and an avid caver is the best reason to go explore this cave. Such rich history associated and species diversity in the cave, it's really a great time inside.

Santana Davis

We attended cavern tavern this weekend! Our tour guide was Cory. BTW...if you can request a guide, REQUEST CORY! Every staff we came in contact with was VERY welcoming! We started in the gift shop because we were super early! Reasonably priced! The museum was interesting to me, as I am raising a rock collected (She's 6). THE TOUR...though it was abbreviated because of the beer at the end was very informative!! Cory and his dad jokes kept me laughing!! I can't wait to got back for the extended (regular) tour soon! We ended the tour with samples from a local brewery! The Lemon Ale was AH MAY ZING! But that non-alcoholic root beer gave me life!! Will definitely be spreading the word about Mr. Browning's finding!

Robert Porter

Superb guide who has been there many years. She was fun and informative! The cave itself is large, but has a somewhat level flooring system and is a living cave.

Casey Powell

Very nice place. People are friendly and still ran by the founders family. Kids loved panning for gems after the tour

Christina McFarland

It was beautiful and amazing to see. Mary Jane was very knowledgeable and very funny! I highly recommend going and will be back with my son.

Crystal Stanworth

Great tour guide, very knowledgeable and fun, and the rock collection was impressive

Mike Wayne

Bluff Dwellers Cave in Noel, MO is one of the “hidden jewels” of the area. We’ve toured many caves throughout the U.S.A., but this one is different. This is partly because of the historical element, and partly because of the formations, but mostly because of our guide, Mary Jane. She made our tour interesting, fun, and special. You should plan to visit Bluff Dwellers Cave while in the area, and if you are lucky, you’ll get Mary Jane as your guide.

Jordan Farris

Such a fun place to go! The tour guides were hilarious and very knowledgeable! I am definitely coming back and would recommend this place to anyone interested :)

Tristan Hoofman

Great for older adults who want to take their grandchild, Mary Jane was awesome, funny, and informative.

Earl Jackson

Amazing tour, hour long. Fun and full of important.

David Muessemeyer

Cory was a great tour guide. Had a great experience going through the cave.

Didyouknow85

Absolutely stunning! Great tour and guide(Robert).

Jan Sewell

This is such a good cave. It has all the stuff that a big cave has. The hour tour goes by fast. They give tours every 30 minutes they are knowledgeable and funny. They welcome kids but one thing I would ask people to do is not take kids 5 and under in because to keep the cave alive and preserved you can’t touch anything and young kids can’t keep from doing that. I wouldn’t carry a small child because you have to duck down in some areas that are low. It was an excellent cave to visit. Plus if you camp and canoe, they are beside the Elk River where everyone was doing that and we saw some good little restaurants and bars close by. I would go back again with friends because it was such a good tour.

Saikrishna Kanukuntla

Good cold cavern with interesting spots in the tour. Tour guide Cory was fun. Definitely a fun place for kids to visit.

Lidia Gault

We visited the cave some time in late May. Our guide, Cory, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We all enjoyed it a lot. He made the tour interesting even for our small children (4 and 1.5 years old). Highly recommend!

Russell B

Great cave - we enjoyed the tour. Cory was a pretty good guide, though not always easy to hear him. We recommend this cave!

J

Great tour with an awesome tour guide James aka Orange Lightning

Jenny Guthary

Love this cavern! Janie is a fun, very knowledgable guide.

Robert Thomas

Cory took us for a tour through the cave. He was hands down the best cave tour guide I've ever had. It was the most fantastic tour through a cave I've ever done and I've been through several. I definitely will be coming back bringing my older son. I can't say enough about the Wonderful experience. Thanks so much.

Brandi Vanorder

We absolutely loved this hidden gem.

Reagan Slade

It was a lot of fun, and our guide was amazing!

Marcia Kay Foster

This living cave is so wonderful. I've been to many caves that aren't living, and it's just not the same. They're were awesome formations and special features. It was a nice long tour as well. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He kept looking for salamanders so that we might get to see one. And one did show up - in the last BIG room. The gift shop has a museum of minerals, rock and geodes. Some were just unbelievably beautiful. It is a must see if you are a cave fanatic like me.

Dorthy Short

We really enjoyed the tour and our guide Mary Jane was lots of fun as well as informative.

Kathy Guinn

We had so much fun! Mary Jane made us laugh she enlightened us it was myself kathy guinn my 2 grandchildren and great grandma Bell they even got great grandma and brought her up because she could not walk that far and let her sit inside till we did tour.
