Explore underground caves at Longhorn Cavern State Park.

Another location for an incredible outdoor experience is the Longhorn Cavern State Park. Rather than exploring above ground, you'll go underground to see the beauty of the historic Longhorn Cavern.There are two guided tour options for the Longhorn Cavern. One is a guided walking tour through 1.1 miles of passages, while the other is a wild cave tour which involves primitive caving experience. We recommend the guided walking tour for everyone, but more adventurous individuals will love to climb and crawl through the cavern on the wild cave tour.Walking tours are held 364 days a year and do require you to purchase a ticket unless you're booking a private group. The wild cave tour is generally held on Saturdays, though this is subject to change depending on a number of factors.Find out more about the Longhorn Cavern, what you can expect, and ticket pricing on their website.
