点评:We went here on a whim while roadtripping TN. This was a GREAT experience. They run tours every 15 mins and the entry price wasn’t that bad. The total time it took was about an hour and a half.
The tour guide was awesome and told us lots of facts on the walk down. She even shut the lights out at one point to show us what total darkness is like.
The boat trip on the lake was peaceful. The other tour guide told us some facts about the lake and the fish they stock in there.
The only issue I had was the climb back up. The paths were steep, but they did have rest areas, benches for you to take a break at. The tour guide stopped at all 3 rest areas for us to take a break. Your eyes also need a minute to adjust as it’s dark in the cavern.
Outside of the cavern building, they have an old western town buildings. There is a general store, gemstone mining area for the kids, and some food stores.
翻译:我们在田纳西州自驾游时一时兴起就来了这里。这是一次非常棒的体验!他们每15分钟就组织一次导览,入场费也还算合理。整个行程大约耗时一个半小时。
导游非常出色,一路上给我们讲了很多相关知识。她甚至一度关掉灯光,让我们体验什么是完全的黑暗。
湖上的船游也十分惬意。另一位导游则向我们介绍了关于这个湖以及湖里饲养的鱼类的一些信息。我遇到的唯一问题就是返回时的爬坡。小路很陡,不过沿途设有休息区,还有长椅供人歇息。导游也在三个休息区都停了下来,让我们休息片刻。由于洞穴内很暗,眼睛也需要一点时间来适应。
在洞穴建筑外面,有一些仿照西部风格建造的旧式城镇建筑。那里有一家杂货店、供孩子们玩耍的宝石开采区,还有一些食品店。
