Natural Bridge Caverns
Thirty minutes north of downtown San Antonio, you can trek down 180 feet below the earth's surface for a half-mile walk through this beautiful, historic cavern system. Take the original Discovery Tour to explore the largest show cavern in Texas with its stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones, chandeliers, and soda-straw formations. The more adventurous (and physically fit) can take the Adventure Tour to get down and dirty (read: muddy) like a real spelunker. The Hidden Wonders tour explores new chambers discovered completely hidden underground including a natural ballroom (available for events), involving the biggest investment in the caverns' history. Listen to knowledgeable guides as they tell the story of this cavern's beauty accompanied by a sound and light show. The tour ends with the B.A.T. (Belt Assisted Transport), the only conveyor system ride out of a cavern in the world that transports visitors back up to the surface. Caverns are cool with high humidity. Wear comfortable shoes with good traction. Trails can be wet, and climbing and descending stairs are involved. Tour prices can vary by date. Surface attractions include a four-level ropes course, seven zip rails, and climbing towers. Booking and buying ahead is recommended for cavern tours.
