Marvel Cave

Favorite Silver Dollar Experience so far. WATERFALLS! Non-slip, supportive shoes a must. It it a strenuous .5 mile hike with a total of 500 stairs down and 100 back up. Great historical cave. Largest cave entrance in the US! Must see for all ages! Bryan, tour guide, is excellent!

It's nice that this just comes with the theme park experience. Just know you are going to dedicate over an hour to it. As far as cave experiences go, this one is a bit bland. The Cathedral Room is pretty spectacular, but the rest of the tour is a bit underwhelming. I presume much of the cave sites you tend to see elsewhere were destroyed in the early days of the attraction. Not many great stalagmites or stalactites seem to remain, or maybe never had them. Tour guide did a good job and kept it fun and informative. The path is all paved and only a few spots are difficult to walk through. The mine train at the end of the tour is cool. Unless you are going to be at the park for a few days, I'd say you are better off hitting the rides instead. There are other caves in the area that have much more awe inspiring formations.

Amazing cave and history inside the Silver Dollar City complex. This tour is included with admission. It's not an easy trek, so if you have doubts about your ability to climb 500 ft of stairs and crawl in a hunched position, you might want to just view photos of the cave, it wears you out lol. I'm in my 60s and the trek was fine. The cave is amazing and the history is really cool to learn about. Recommend if you are able to take this tour, you will enjoy it!

Absolute Branson-must! Obviously, you need to purchase a ticket to Silver Dollar City to take the tour of Marvel Cave, but both are completely worth it. It rained a lot the day we went here, so we did have to wait three hours for the cave conditions to improve to tour the cave, but it was amazing! The tour guide was amazing and fun! The tour takes you on a rigorous journey through the cave system and out using a train (if it works). When you go to SDC, the entrance to Marvel Cave is right when you get in the park, so get in line right away. You watch a five-minute movie in the holding area and then descend into the cave. Pictures don't do it justice, so just go. Overall, this is a Branson-must!

That is very cool. Well worth the one hour detour from Silver Dollar City Park fun. Not for anyone having trouble with steps as there are more than 500. Cathedral Room is massive!

Absolutely amazing tour. I have never walked in a cave such as this with such a high ceiling. Vivian was our Guide for the tour and she was absolutely phenomenal. I hope she breaks the record and if you don't know what I mean go do this tour and make sure she is your guide. The climbs were not as bad I thought they would be. Could be challenging for others though. Would highly recommend reading the signs prior to starting the tour to ensure it's something you can do due to physical condition. Learned a lot of great history in regards to the cave and how it developed the area to include Silver Dollar City. My wait time was about a hour. That's probably cause I went on one of the last days the park would be open for the season.

This was alot of fun!!! BUT!!! SOOOO MANY STAIRS!!! we had a lot of great laughs and an amazing tour guide! We even saw a few dinosaurs.....go see if you can find them!

The train at the end of tour was broken down! We had to climb back up to the beginning. I suffered a brain injury from a traumatic car wreck in 1999 leaving me impaired, with large and small motor skill problems, depth perception, double vision, ptsd,and anxiety. The lights in the cave only shine to go to the end of the tour. I couldn't see on the slippery slopes and stairs and it was horrifying, one of the scariest situations I have ever had to experience. Stay away from the craves! Everyone suffered, it wasn't just me. My son's blood sugar dropped to 50. His legs were shaking so badly. I don't want to go back to the park but we already bought a two day pass.
