The cave is awesome and it is fascinating with the projection on rocks! My tour guide Tash was very humorous. While we were listening to her informative explanations about the caves, she always made jokes in between the explanations to make us laugh and awake 🤣 Highly recommended the tour 🤩 Also, the witch laboratory and 4D cinema was a good place to enjoy films and know more about the cave tunnel. The staff in this place were super nice!! There are also many playing areas for children. Overall, it is a good chilling place to enjoy the nature, learning about it and let children to play around😆

It was a wonderful day. We didn't have to wait in long lines since the park was empty, so we enjoyed everything at a leisurely pace. The guide we had for the cave tour was fantastic and professional, very entertaining, and has a wonderful voice. It's definitely a place I recommend for families or couples.

Amazing experience. Went as a group of 4 to the experience, which was so much more than just a cave exploration. They feature mini golf, a 4D dinosaur experience, a little arcade game area, mirror maze, etc. There's a lot to do here for the price. The cave tour featured someone guiding us around and explaining each section of the cave, featuring stories of a witch to roman remains being found, etc etc. The exploration is a great time, especially with the information they give you, especially with the special effects that display on the cave walls. There was also some high places in the cave, which featured a metal grate walkway, which if you have vertigo or acrophobia it may trigger, especially since you can easily see through the grates. One to to mention, which is not the cave's fault. There can be some very impatient people on the tour. We had parents, a larger man and a smaller woman who thought it was acceptable to push past people (including us) while where was a narrowing path over looking a drop near a lake in the cave. The woman did not want to wait and tried to push past with her kids and her partner tried to do the same later on, nearly pushing my partner over (baring in mind the cave can be slippery enough to fall over as it is). Again these were parents with little ones. Some selfish and entitled people out there that just clearly do not care for their or anyone else's safety. In any case it was a great time, took some great pictures and videos, had a go at the crazy golf, mirror maze, etc. Definitely recommend coming here. Great family fun and adventure all around with plenty to do.

Returning to Wookey Hole after over twenty years was a delightful experience. Visiting as a family with two and three-year-old granddaughters, we found that the site remains an excellent destination with a vast array of activities to keep all ages engaged. While I was unable to explore the caves personally this time, the rest of the family found them to be fantastic. For the younger children, the dinosaur area was a particular standout and provided plenty of excitement. The 4D cinema was great fun, and the circus performance was impressive. Huge credit goes to the young performers for their skill and energy. Though the audience was a bit quiet, we were certainly clapping enthusiastically from the back! It was wonderful to see the mirror maze still in situ, and the penny arcade remains a nostalgic and entertaining highlight. The staff in the restaurant deserve a special mention. The team consisted of young people who were exceptionally patient and helpful, which made the dining experience smooth and pleasant for a large family group. In terms of value, you receive a significant amount for your money. We spent a good portion of the day there, but had we not needed to travel home, we easily could have stayed until closing and still found plenty to do. A brilliant choice for a multi-generational trip. Whether you are revisiting after decades or seeing it for the first time, it is a well-managed and high-value attraction.

Visited Wookey Hole Caves and it turned out to be a really enjoyable day out. The caves themselves were the highlight. They are cool to walk through and you get a nice bit of history along the way which makes it more interesting instead of just looking at rocks and tunnels. The atmosphere inside the caves feels unique and the lighting and layout make it a fun experience for both adults and kids. The workers inside were great and really added to the experience, especially when telling the witch story. They kept it engaging and easy to follow, which made the whole cave tour more entertaining rather than just a basic walkthrough. You can tell they put effort into making visitor's enjoy the history and legends behind the place. Once you come out of the caves, you come across the dinosaurs which were actually pretty cool. It adds a fun surprise to the experience, especially for kids, and it keeps the day interesting as you move through different parts of Wookey Hole. The scenery around the place is also beautiful, with nice views and open space to walk around and relax. The theatre show was also a nice addition. It was entertaining and something different to sit down and watch after walking around the caves and attractions. There is also soft play available once you get past the cave and dinosaur section, which is good if you have kids with you and want them to burn some energy. One bit of advice is to take your own food. The restaurant Captain Jack is overpriced and the quality is poor, so it is better to bring your own food and avoid spending money there. Overall, Wookey Hole Caves is worth visiting and I would say it is worth coming back again. There is a good mix of history, scenery, entertainment, and activities for families. Apart from the food situation, the experience is enjoyable and makes for a solid day out.
