Reviews of Melrose Caverns
"We've been to LOTS of caverns. This experience was fantastic! Ariana, our tour guide, did an excellent job rocking multiple roles. She was a knowledgeable and patient tour guide, did a great job managing the tour ticket sales, and the gift shop. I really liked that the kids were given chances to interact during the tour as well. The caverns were full of interesting history. I appreciate that they were open enough to not feel claustrophobic. Highly recommend & don't forget to tip!!"
"Jim gave us an early tour as we came before our 4pm start. I’ve been to my fair share of caverns and this is truly a once in a lifetime experience the history you get to walk through and see with your own eyes is just so incredibly and Jim created such a knowledgeable and fun environment for this tour."
"It was an amazing experience our guide Alex was phenomenal he was the great with our kids and how he explained things on there level. It was 7 of us so Alex took just us so the group wouldn't be so big. I'm glad he did cause he took the time to explain everything and answer all the kids questions! Would definitely go back!"
"My wife and two sons (7 & 3) went on a tour this morning and it was awesome. Our guide, Jack, was incredibly knowledgeable and really made it fun, exciting, and memorable for all of us especially for the kids. Great experience!"
"As a wedding videographer, I travel to many different venues. Melrose Caverns was very UNIQUE! I had a great time filming the wedding here, but it was the history and the caverns themselves that really peaked my interest in this venue. I don't know if Melrose Caverns will continue to be a "wedding venue" or not as the years go a long, but you should stop by and visit the caverns one day for sure! I found the place fascinating and I know you will too! I did NOT post any photos of the cavern itself because I want you to see them for yourself! =)"
