Onyx Cave Park

The highlight of the trip!!!
My cousin and I visited Onyx Cave Park Saturday and it was honestly the best experience I’ve had in Eureka.
I was so nervous since I have an old leg injury and a fear of enclosed spaces. However, I have wanted to do this for years and wasn’t going to let that stop me!
I’m so glad I didn’t.
The entrance was deep and took a bit of patience down the steps, but once I got past that, it was worth it. Onyx Cave has hand rails so it’s handicap accessible. You can wear headphones and listen to a narrator at various points along the way. There are many points for great photo opps and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
Being able to conquer my fear was worth the 7.50 entrance fee. It’s an experience I’ll always remember and highly recommend to anyone who visits Eureka Springs, Arkansas,

I visited onyx Cave Park cause my friends said not to miss it, while i was in Eureka Springs.
I had my mom with me who has trouble hearing and sometimes walking. Well, they have disabled parking, which we used for her. Then, we walked a mile, so it seemed to the shop. The shop was fair.
Then we were given antiquated players, and quickly instructed how to use them with the limited blue tooth connection (probably not blue tooth) in the cave. We walked down another path to the entrance, and both of us used the hearing devices. It was such a bad recording, that I could hardly hear it, I knew my mom couldn’t hear it.
The inside of the cave is gorgeous, but so/​so. Beautiful, but frustrating full of man made photo ops, with a short path and repeat to the entrance again. I’ve seen lot’s of caves, and would not return to this nor would I take anyone to it. It’s interesting once, if that. They need to improve on a few things. We left, walking through the shop which again is so/​so.

It’s self guided and you’re given head phones that tell you the history as you go along. Pretty neat! Not very crowded, and the price is good. Very small rout, good for groups (esp with kids who have small attention spans) and something to do for an hour. Friendly staff, they even helped is find a bat!

Save your 7.50 and pass up this cave. The self guided tour was accompanied by headphones from the 70’s. We walked through the cave in about 10 minutes which includes backtracking the entire trail and going back in the gift shop. We left and headed to the Cosmic Caverns which turned out to be a great experience.
