Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park

My kids and I went to Wonder World back in March and we had a wonderful time. It offers many attractions such as the guides cave tour, train ride with petting zoo, anti-gravity room, gift shop, gem mining, and outside eating area with a small playground. I think it's definitely worth a visit, mainly for the caves, and for all ages. We paid extra for the gem mining but the kids loved it, and it just added to the educational experience. The anti-gravity house is trippy for sure. I would recommend this place to visit at least once!

This was my first time at a cave altogether and even though I was a little scared, it was great. Our tour guide Joshua was funny and took some pictures for us at the end of the tour. Definitely wear sneakers for this. The operation times need to be updated online to avoid confusion but we were able to call and figure it out. The antigravity house was fun, I definitely felt a little dizzy after. I put 4 stars because some areas were very dirty like the hallway to the house and the bathroom

We traveled to Wonderworld from Boerne, Texas and had a fabulous time! Macie was the coolest tour guide ever. She ensured the safety of everyone, gave in depth but fun facts about the cave, and had such a fun sense of humor. I cannot recommend wonderworld more!!

We had great time today at Wonder World. Highly recommend doing all 3 attractions. Ryder is an excellent tour guide with a great sense of humor that brightened our day. We will definitely be back again.

It's a really great cave. The colored lights inside however mess up your pictures it makes it look cheesy. However, it is not cheesy it is beautiful. Ryder was our tour guide and she was awesome.

I went on the cave tour with my boyfriend and had a lot of fun! The cave looked great because the lighting they put in made it so colorful and exciting. Our tour guide, Luke, was very funny and knowledgeable about the formation of the cave and its history. I wish the tour was longer so we both can explore more interesting things about nature.

We recently visited again as part of a field trip. When we were there two years ago we all had a wonderful time. Our guides were extremely patient with the rowdy group we had. This time however was beyond amazing. We had the amazing guide Emily and assistant Kenny. I believe Maddie was the “announcer” getting us started and she was so great with our group. Emily was awesome throughout and Kenny pointed out some extra cool things to us throughout the tour. 10/10 recommend visiting!

Nice local, old school, roadside attraction. Josh was a great guide and we had a good time. It is a good way to spend a few hours with the kids. You can bring a picnic or grab a bite at their snack bar.

Overall the experience was pretty cool.And Kira our guide was very friendly and informative.Me and my wife got the full experience which was the cave the little gravity room and the little safari park.The only thing I can say is,it's a bit overpriced for what you get.Other then that it was good.

Isabelle was EXCELLENT the WHOLE EXPERIENCE was very educational and fun Feeding the animals and caves and the crooked weird house was ALL Amazing Whatever you pay Isabelle DOUBLE it RIGHT NOW Will definitely return

Such a great experience for $36. The cave tour was neat, and our guide, Summer, did such an amazing job explaining the history and facts about the cave. It was a very thorough walkthrough and enjoyable experience. It was fun visiting the antigravity house and the gift shop. A part of our ticket included the petting zoo, which was one of my favorite parts about the whole experience. The animals were adorable & pepper was hysterical!! The staff really does take care of the whole space extremely well!

Absolutely loved the tour by Sam! Tractor ride to feed the animals was fun and cute for all ages. The cave tour I felt like was not suitable for kids under 5 due to steep/slippery steps. Overall I enjoyed my time at wonder world

5/5 Truly recommend. Our guide was top notch. Incredibly friendly, comical and informative. I didn't know what to expect during this tour but it was great to be guided by someone that you could tell really loved their job. I do recommend that people wear comfortable shoes that are NOT sandals and DO NOT FORGET TO BRING WATER! You have to climb steep steps or duck down in awkward positions as you venture about the caves. So you will get tired or dehydrated from the travels.

We had an amazing time at Wonder World Cave. Yes it's a little dated but that's what made it so fun for the family. We played corn hole, walked the gift shop and sifted rocks to get some pretty gems. Our tour guides Jocelyn and new tour guide Dusty were fun and engaging. Just do it and go. It's all about building memories with the family and

I was a little suspicious of the venue while driving to it because it seems like it's on the other side of a residential street. To my surprise, it turned out great. We did the All in One with the petting zoo, Cave tour, and anti gravity house. Our tour guide Emily was a gem and a good sport throughout the tours. I accidentally reserved the wrong date for the tickets but they happily accommodated me to the day that I showed up. Great customer service in my book! Pro tip - if you have multiple kids and do the pay dirt, it's $14 for one bag. I bought one bag and split it amongst my three children and they all got some legit rocks out of it.

We received an incentive to come from the Girl Scout Cookie Program and there were plenty of scouts there that day. I was hesitant when we pulled up because you have to go thru a neighborhood and there is legit a house on the others side of the street. We had the package that was petting zoo, walk thru a cave and the no gravity house. We had to pay for the feed, and I don't believe it was a lot but you ride the train to the other side where the animals are, and I will say you will not be disappointed. There were Deers, turkeys, pigs, emus, and everything. Our tour guide was River and he was the BEST. He told us plenty about the animals and even will take pictures for you since we had to stay on the train. We then went on a walking tour of a cave below the building. It was a long tour and the steps were quite narrow and there were handles. It was a hot day but the further down we went the cooler it got and it was great. We enjoyed the tour and Rive again was taking pictures for everyone. He had turned off the lights so you could experience what it was like and I will legit say it was dark and I don't think I would have survived digging for gold in a cave. I feel like the walk down was nerve-wracking but the walk back up was the hardest thing ever. We went into the zero gravity house and I can't say much because my body was like "this is not for me" so I walked thru fast. My daughter had fun in there and all in all was a nice day in San Marcos. I will we will legit go back to feed the animals because that was my favorite part.

Wonderworld was awesome!! We got to feed the beautiful animals, walk through the cave which was interesting and informational, and walked through the anti-gravity room. The gift shop was also pretty cool too! Overall it was a fun experience for all ages SHOUTOUT to our awesome tour guide Leif for guiding us thru the whole experience!

This place is super great. We purchased the all jn one ticket, which had us first do the "train" (linked trailer cars pulled by a tractor), which took us under a "mountain" to the animal reserve. Felt very much like going into Jurassic Park. It was very cool. After the animal reserve we went down into the cave. That was a very fun experience, and while we didn't take our kids this tiny we definitely would. Might be a little difficult for kids four year olds or younger to be patient during the tour, but it isn't very long and just promise them dipping dots after. And they get a cool open elevator ride at the end. Lastly they took us through the anti gravity house, which was also cool and I won't spoil. Gift shop has a lot of cool items that don't feel like cheap junk (cool rocks and stones, decent jewelry, smashed pennies, and more).

Love Kira!!!! Best tour guide I've ever had. She was so funny and kind. I was a little bit scared but it was fun

Interesting caves and amazing tour guide Emily had so much info and history to share. She made it very fun and engaging. We loved the train ride to see the animals-rec getting food to feed the animals. My kids loved deer #7!

Plenty of space for parking. Absolutely amazing staff and concept. They also do a great job of executing the vision. Feeding the animals is a great touch. Beware of the emu. The way it eats comes across as a little more aggressive than the other animals, but you're safe. The cave is also another phenomenal addition. Our guide, Jahde (Jaw-Day) (could be spelled wrong) was comical, informative, and safety conscious. The gravity house is a great illusion to experience. I recommend this attraction whole heartedly for families and or even dates

Amazing visit so close to Austin/San Antonio. The staff was friendly, feeding the animals was fun and our tour guide, Lainie, was fantastic at navigating and educating us through the interesting and large cave. I'll definitely return with the grandchildren!

I got some free tickets from my resort for this place, and decided to check it out not knowing what it was doing. It was an all in one pass thing and much say it was amazing. Our tour guide was Summer and she was amazing and knew what she does doing and was funny and made us laugh, would for sure come back again. A cute little place.

Feeding the animals was fun! But the cave was really awesome to see and learn about. Ethan was a fantastic tour guide. Would definitely go again!

My partner and I had the chance to explore wonder world caves using do210 and it was definitely one for the books. Our tour guide Theo was so informative. He made the experience memorable. We took some Candid photos and of course we checked out the gift shop. Our favorite part of the whole experience was the anti- gravity house and touching the glowing stone in the cave tour ! Thank you Theo for taking the time to make sure everyone had a chance to explore the caves. You rock! No pun intended

A fun time! I will say that this park is more geared toward younger clientele, particularly the "train" ride and petting zoo. Still, my partner and I enjoyed it. We paid $28/person, which was a little pricey for what it was, but that's fine. The all-inclusive tour gets you the cave tour, trip up to the top of their observation tower, a walkthrough of an old-school "anti-gravity" house, and the train ride to petting zoo. It's advertised as a two hour tour, but it took only about an hour and change for us, which might've been because it was only the two of us and another small group of four. Not surprising on a Tuesday afternoon that it was quiet; I'm sure it's much busier on a Saturday or Sunday! All of the staff were very outgoing and friendly and seemed to be interested in working there and pleasing guests. For instance, because it was a hot afternoon, they knew the animals would be a bit lethargic, so they gave us free deer feed (normally costs extra) to help motivate the animals to get up and close so we could pet them and take photos. They have rams, deer, emus, turkey, peacocks, a donkey, a pig, goats, and a couple unique horned creatures as well. The animals are quite domesticated/docile. Our tour guide during the cave tour was knowledgeable and funny. The caves are admittedly kind of small (I've been spoiled with some pretty epic caving/spelunking in the past), but an interesting bit of history and a good introduction to caves for kids. The tower is only 120ish feet tall, but does get you a good view of the surrounding area in all directions. Staff nor guests are required to wear masks at this point, whether outdoors, down in the cave, up on the tower, or inside the gift shop. It's a good sized shop with lots of fun knick-knacks available for purchase, a small arcade section, and a place to buy drinks/snacks/ice cream. I myself got a sticker as a souvenir. =) If you're in the area, I recommend checking it out! It won't take more than 2-3 hours out of your day.

Awesome place for the kids to play for the day beautiful caves and amazing staff definitely recommend this

Only did the cave tour. We've been to better. Smaller cave, not the same experience as with other caves in the area. It was our tour guide, Charlize's first tour. While she was friendly, and funny, we didn't get half of the information, (not her fault) because the cave has narrow passages and with 20 people to a tour it's impossible to hear what is being said at the front of the tour, when you're at the back of the line of people. I think the tour group sizes are too large for everyone to get all the information or to ask questions if you haven't heard the info. With smaller group sizes, the tour would take half the time.

We noticed that Wonderworld was one of the only attractions open in San Marcos. We decided to take a quick road trip to check it out. It is located past Texas State University via Aquarena Springs Drive. We were the first visitors for the day. I purchased the combo ticket for us @ $25.99 each. This included their little game preserve park which had a stop to feed deer and over zealous emus lol. Wouln't recommend feeding emus from your hand it hurts lol and they're pretty aggressive when it comes to food. The second part of the tour which is the main attraction is the dry cave which was created by an ancient earthquake. I believe our tour guide Addy said that the cave was first discovered in the late 1800's for the search for fresh water. It goes approximately 180 feet down very nice and cool down there! I recommend that you stretch your legs really well before you go because the stairs are very steep and narrow. You will use those muscles believe me! The final leg of the tour was very weird which was the antigravity house. If you are prone to motion sickness and dizziness skip this part. The house is built on an 18 degree slope and once again you will need those leg muscles. If you become dizzy just look down to offset the feeling. Pretty fun to walk in. Oh I forgot after this you get to go to the observation tower. This gave you a good vantage point of the Balcones Fault line and the entire area. Nice views! Overall the visit was decent just kind of short in the cave which is the main attraction. Nice place to visit with the family and kids.

Had a great time with my family exploring a new cave. It's great for all ages. River, our guide, was fun, knowledgeable, and professional, all rolled into one.

So happy this place was open to spend sometime with my husband. It was easy to order our tickets online and although they ask that you wear masks they are not making you. However if you're gonna touch their merchandise you MUST wear gloves. Gift Shop: it has many items geared for little people but for adults there is not much to chose from. My husband collects hats and t-shirts from places we have been too but there wasn't anything there of interest for him. I did buy however at least a magnet that had the Wonder Cave logo on, and cool tumblers that came with free refills! Staff: Awesome! awesome! awesome! Naomi was our tour guide and she was amazing we had several little families in our group and she answered all the little people's questions no matter how silly. Attractions: We did not do the Anti-Gravity house we did enjoy the ride over to see the animals. Our group (non-family) got to see a momma deer give birth to a baby deer. Feeding the animals was a lot of fun and when they say watch out for the emus lol they really mean it. The cave was amazing and spectacular, you must be super careful going through this cave with little ones. There is an elevator that takes you to the top of the Observation Tower which is completely enclosed except for the very top, very safe and cool to see. This is really cool place and fun.

If you are ever in the San Marcos area and are looking for something to do this place is definitely a must-go! Myself and a group of friends (including children) wanted to get out of the house. We tried booking online but their time slots only allowed a certain amount of people. We had 18 people total in our group. We called the place and spoke to Will who accommodated our group size and gave us a time to show up. We showed up almost 10 minutes past the time he gave us and luckily they were fine and our tour had not started yet. We all signed up for the All-In- One tickets which got your a 2 hour guided tour through their cave, observation tower, anti-gravity house and the petting zoo. It was a lot of fun. The kids definitely enjoyed it and so did the adults. They also have a store where you can purchase food, drinks, souvenirs and food to feed the animals.

Got there first thing, 9:45, and they actually opened a little early. The guy at the desk was super helpful in telling us the options. We selected the full package: animal park, cave, tower and anti gravity house guided tour. Luke was terrific! Informative and fun! The animals came right up to the train..But a bag of feed. It was only $2.50 and fun to feed the animals! The cave was great took my mom and mother in law. Former science teachers adored it, 65 and 75 years old. They made it fine. Tired at the end, but had a blast!

This place was so fun! The staff was super friendly and our tour guide for the day was Leif and he was absolutely fantastic! I would definitely recommend this little spot to friends and family!

This place is such a gem- hasn't changed since the first time I visited over 30 years ago :) kids and adults both have a blast feeding the animals and exploring the cave!

3.3 STARS! Lackluster cave in my opinion but the service was very accommodating. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cave is somewhat just a cave with not much color variations or anything that pulls you in. No crystals or amazing sights. The leave the best for last with the million old fossil pair of claims. The trip underground would be difficult for older grandma's or grandpa's so be careful as its dark, tight and wet in some areas. The observation tower is cool but you can get the same views from driving around Wimberley. The train ride is always fun for kids! If you haven't been to the drive thru zoo in Natural Bridge Caverns then this is second or third place. Plenty of animals to feed but it's a quick 10min visit. Overall, it's cool. I just wouldn't go back a second time. Enjoy!

My granddaughter is three years old. We were together with my daughter, my son-in-law and granddaughter. She had the best time in the cave on the train feeding the animals was exceptionally fun for her. She fell in love with the donkey. Everything about it was great.

My friends and I went over the weekend to check this place out for the first time and I was actually very impressed. The cave was a lot longer, deeper, and more intense than I had imagined. Being claustrophobic and with a huge fear of being buried alive, I had to definitely work my brain magic to cool my thinking. It ended up being a great experience! What made it so great? Our tour guide ADAM. He's awesome! He was so knowledgeable and funny and made us all have a great time. Definitely request him when you go. The tower and the antigravity house are worth the extra $5 btw. Just do them. You shoot straight up to the top of the tower from the bottom of the cave which is so cool. ALSO, important note: please bring cash to tip the guides. We luckily had some cash but it would have been nice to know to bring more. So definitely remember that! Will definitely be bringing more family and friends here when they come to town. Thank you again Adam, for such a wonderfully memorable experience!

Fun and great friendly staff. We did the all in 1 tour so animal train feed, cave (wear tennis shoes and not good for people who can't go up and down steep slippery steps), anti gravity room, observation deck, and paid extra for mining. There's a small playground with places to picnic and food trucks. Nice place!

First off, let me tell you I thought this place looked like a sketchy carnival when I pulled up BUT it was definitely not a creepy carnival. Very cute place for families with young children. If you have kids who are curious about caves, this is honestly a really good place to take them to explore a cave. The cave has railings and is relatively easy to get through. There's also the train ride through their little wildlife park and you can feed the animals. The staff there are also very nice. Shoutout to Creighton for being such a great tour guide. I just wanna put his joke out there because it was hilarious but it went over the kids' heads. He told us to "watch out for the shampoo rock. It'll hit your head and shoulders." *badum tsss* Anyways, overall it's a really cute place and you should definitely plan a visit here, with or without kids. It's worth it.

A lot of fun for the kids. Loved the zero gravity house. Great tour. Cool LED lighting inside the cave really stood out over other Texas caves

This was so much fun! I will caution you that if you are really tall or out of shape, this is not the event for you. It was so interesting hearing the story of the past owners and sitting inside a cave. My family also enjoyed the train ride where they could feed the animals. It was really funny! There was a real reindeer and white peacocks

We discovered this place on Groupon while visiting in town. We end up doing the 4 in 1 attractions. It started off with us taking a train ride through the small animal safari. We got a feeding bag each to feed the animals. The animals were up very close and personal which was pretty cool. We saw goats, peacocks, deers, a donkey, turkeys and emus. They stopped two times to let us feed the animals through the trains. Afterwards we did the cave tour were it was cool and wet inside there. Was a bit slippery in places and you do have to watch your step in there as well. We then took an elevator up to the observation deck that had an overview of San Marcos. After that we did the gravity house thing where the gravity force was against you. I personally didn't like it made me dizzy. Other then that It was a pretty cool excursion while in town and River our tour guide was amazing !

We had tay for our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing she was so sweet and funny! I 100 percent recommend this place!!

Although Yelp says that every business is closed, I can assure you that this place is not. The familia spent a good part of the day here with an all in one ticket. And we all loved it. Great cave system and tower and pet feeding. The staff is great too we had Faith and she was badass! Once we got back home the kids FaceTimed everyone and their mothers to tell them about the adventures her, so you know they loved it. Can't wat to come back here again. I'm sure ya'll gonna love it as much as we did.

I had so much fun! My tour guide for the cave tour was Diego and he was amazing and funny. The anti gravity house was super cool, in it you can make water go up hill.

Our kids had a great time here and I think our timing was perfect. We came on a Sunday in October around 2PM and there were only 3 adults and 3 kids in our tour group (our family and one more). We used our Pogo Passes and added on the train ride. They offer a military discount too. We stayed about 2.5 hours. Note: nothing is self-guided, like you might expect from an amusement park. You start with the cave tour, then do the observation tower, then the antigravity house, then the train ride. Your tour guide accompanies you the entire time. Tips are welcomed at the conclusion of your day. Isaac was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and funny. He was great with the kids. The cave tour was very informative. There are a few tight spaces and steep stairs to walk through, but our 6 and 10yo handled it just fine. The second family dropped off after the cave and we basically got a private tour of the remaining 3 attractions. The observation tower is a quick climb up some stairs and then just viewing the area. The antigravity house was pretty neat. We took some photos and then got the heck outta there. With all the recent rain, the mosquitos were just atrocious; literally swarming around me. We went to the car to spray ourselves and then met back up with our guide at the trains. We paid $3.50 for 2 bags of animal food. Feeding the animals was fun, but the emus are pretty bold. They can snatch at your food, causing you to drop it, and pretty much end the fun. Haha. We got wise to them pretty quickly and would try to get them to one side of our train car and calmly feed the other animals (deer, peacocks, antelope) on the other side. It was a lot of fun. After leaving that area and returning to the gift shop, we used our leftover food and fed the goats. There's an area near the antigravity house with several goats (babies and pregnant mamas) and a pony to feed. The goats will try to eat your shorts, and jump up and hug you, but we got some good laughs. We got our cooler with drinks and lunches from the car after that and ate inside at their snack bar. They have a picnic area outside too, but the mosquitos were too bad to stay outside. So glad we got to visit Wonder World on our Pogo Passes. It's pretty expensive without it, and we still ended up spending $50 for a family of 4 with the train ride, animal food, and tip. Make a day of it!

This was a great experience. Took our little one there for something to do for his birthday weekend. The caverns were real and I was almost a little scared walking through them with our child. It is definitely not like the one in Round Rock. But we made it through without hitting our heads, falling or skinning our knees, so I won't take any points off. Just beware that it is climbing, and occasionally ducking, and holding on a lot. I don't know how they say they have parties in there, I would be very uneasy to be partying up in there, but to each their one. The anti-gravity room is so crazy. I can't believe the how this works on someone. Almost made my husband sick, but again it was fun and not like anything I thought it would be. Riding the tram to the other side and feeding the animals was great. We enjoyed it, especially the donkey, pig, and deers. We went up the look out tower and I was a little uneasy going up, but was cool to look out from the top. Just the worry of the elevator functioning ok was on my mind. We wish more of the games in the gift shop would have been working, it's not really a fully functional arcade, but more like a few games plugged in. A great experience overall. And I do recommend it for those that can do the cavern. Not sure if I would recommend if you have any issues with hiking, climbing, being in tight spaces, humid areas, or have anxiety.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE MOST PRECIOUS EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!! The animal encounters were so special and heartwarming, and probably my favorite part. I have been bragging to everyone I know about getting to see real peacocks and let deer eat from my hands! The train ride to see the wildlife was super relaxing, and our tour guide throughout the whole day, Javi, was incredible. He told us tons of stories about the history behind Wonder World and its cave, and left us with tons of fun facts about things like geology, deer, emus, Edward's Aquifer, calcite, the origin of the cavern, and so much more. Javi made sure that we felt extremely welcome and comfortable during all excursions, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, coming here was the highlight of my year, and I am already planning to bring friends and family back to visit in 2024!

Great spot to kill two hours away from the sun with kiddos - feed some rescue animals, ride a little train, see some cool limestone caves and check out the 360 degree landscape of Texas from up on top of a tower - and if you are sober and brave, experience and anti-gravity house because, why not? Steve is a great tour guide - chill and a wealth of knowledge if you are lucky enough to get him!

First off, HUGE thanks to Josh our tour guide, he did a fantastic job and keeping us informed and entertained throughout the attractions. He really knows his stuff and couldn't have asked for a better time. It was our first time going to Wonder World and it was a blast! The cave was so interesting, just wish we could have gone deeper into the other pathways! The anti gravity house was a nice illusion and makes you laugh. The train ride was soooo worth it. The animals were so fun to feed, just be careful of the emu! Lol they can be a bit greedy.

I've always seen signs here every time I pass I-35 and kept thinking about how I need to stop here and see what this place is all about. It's about $25 for an adult but you spend about 2 hours here. First, you go through and learn about the cave. The cave is nice and cool which was nice and our tour guide April was very nice! Then, at the end of the cave tour is an elevator that takes you up in a tower 150ft to see a view of San Marcos. It was so cool to see this. Following the tower, is the fun house. The last part of the tour was the train ride. Make sure you buy deer feed because the animals will come right up to you. Overall had a great time with my friend and would come back and visit again. I enjoyed feed the emu and the nachos were tasty! They also have old school arcade games in the back of the store as well. Brought back fun memories of myself playing games back in the day.

This was my first time coming here. I felt like getting away and love adventure so why not walk under underground. This experience included an underground cave, train ride to see animals, and an anti gravity house. My favorite was the cave. It was formed after an earthquake and has been kept up very well. The only thing that wasn't pleasant from being in a cave was noticing how out of shape I really am after walking up very steep steps The anti gravity house was a little interesting. Only being able to lean in one direction is very odd and now I really appreciate gravity more than ever. It was fun. This was a decent experience but only a one time experience for me.

This place is a great option to spend a couple hours doing something different. The cave tour is unique and fun and Stephen, our tour guide, was great. Perfect blend of information and corny jokes that all tour guides must possess! The cave has a few steep stairs going down, but there are rails everywhere and overall suitable for all ages. Younger kids (4-7ish) might get a bit bored but our 11 year old enjoyed it a lot. There is an observation tower to check or the scenic vistas of Texas Hill Country as well as an anti gravity house and a train tour where you can feed some deer, rams, and emus. We were there for about two hours and I think is a great way to do something out of the ordinary.

This is our second trip to wonder world and the best I would say. We got fit in the schedule by the manager, A.K.A Mom. (Lol) There was a field trip so we didn't pick the best time, but they helped us make the best of it. Rylee was an amazing tour guide and had all the jokes and a laugh that would make you laugh (:. The dig bag was also a hit. Definitely might make a third trip here one day in the future.

Super fun place! My husband and I really enjoyed every bit of it. Anti gravity was the best part of it. Surely recommend to visit.

Saturn was our tour guide and he was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, funny and patient with our 3 year old who loves nature. Highly recommend asking for Saturn to be your tour guide!
