The area around Branson, Missouri, offers a wide variety of entertainment, from Vegas style shows to the Heartland's natural beauty. And just an hour outside of Branson is Berryville, Arkansas, home of the amazing Cosmic Cavern. There are several tours and activities available at the Cosmic Cavern. The 75 minute tour features two bottomless lakes (the bottoms haven't been discovered yet!); incredible formations, including stalagmites, stalactites, draperies, and helictites; the threatened Ozark Blind Cave Salamander; and find out why bats are returning to the cave after 70 years. There's a more expert tour available in the Wild Cave Tour, and Gemstone Panning is also available here.
FULL DESCRIPTION
My experience at cosmic caverns was great! The tour guides Mike and Jimmy were nice and very good at presenting the caves features. All in all the cave has great formations, the people are very nice, and the experience was one to remember. I would highly recommend Cosmic Caverns for tourists or anyone who hasn't seen it.
