    What a fun trip to Lost Canyon Cave. We took a golf cart through the ozark park. Waterfalls are beautiful. The cave bar about halfway through was awesome. Nice to get a drink when it's hot in July. We paid online and signed the waiver before we got there. Only downside was it was a busy day with a lot of carts, so it was stop and go. Going through the cave portion was a plus!!! We loved it. Welll worth the price.

    Absolutely stunning views, but not the most informative or accessible. It constantly felt like a guessing game, where's this, how does this work, do I need to tickets for this, is this included.... That made it less enjoyable as a whole. They also are missing a huge opportunity by not having speakers playing in the golf carts with facts and history, they have some pop up on the gps screen but they disappear before you can even read them. Plus who can read and drive?! The views are immaculate, the landscaping is beautiful, lots of squirrels on the feeders and a couple groundhogs. Probably a super fun place to go during Christmas and if they did something for Halloween that's be soo fun! The bats bar drinks were unique but nothing I'd drink again. The gold carts were easy to drive. The picture spots were easily accessible unless wet then a bit slippery, everything is absolutely stunning... Is it worth $70 per person, ehhh that's a bit steep for a simple drive on a golf cart, but I'd go again.

    We had a family group of 12 age 10-70. We arrived between 10-10:30am and beat most of the crowd we saw as we were finishing up. We had 3 golf carts of 4. The bat bar in the bat cave was such a cool experience. The free drink with ticket purchase was nice! The views were amazing and the entire place was so beautiful! It was the highlight of everyone's entire trip. You don't want to miss this. It is worth the ticket price!

    What a wonderful time picked up. Our golf cart left out on the tour. People were stopping along the way to take beautiful pictures the waterfalls. It was just magical. When we reached the bat bar that was our favorite part. You drove through. They gave you your drink. It was so nice and cool in there. We kind of goofed around driving out of there. Just enjoy the cool the waterfall running. It was awesome! Should you ever get the chance to go there, you definitely have to do this tour. I would like to go again during the holidays and late in the evening just to see all the things that they light up

    Tthis place is AMAZINGLY beautiful. Non-profit and yet immaculate and stunning nature preserve. We highly recommend. Be sure to do the tram ride, it is two hours but worth the time and price. Can also walk or rent bikes, fish or hire fishing guide. Buffalo, Elk, Texas Long Horn Cattle. Gorgeous stream and multiple waterfalls. Good for adults, kids, families. Really neat tree house built by Treehouse Masters with dozens of bird houses built into it. Museum onsite as well as a patio cafe with out of this world views. Even have stream snorkeling in crystal clear water. This is a must see!
