  1. That rock dog is so interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that before. I have to save this for later, I love cave tours!! I’ve only done two in my life so I’d like to get to do more.Thanks for sharing.

    1. You are welcome! Longhorn Cavern is unique. It’s different from most caverns with their stalagmites and stalactites. I hope you can make a visit in the future.

  2. Looks like an amazing place to visit! I have visited 2 caves in my life and loved the uniqueness of both. Hopefully I can visit Longhorn Cavern in the future.

    1. Margie, there are at least a couple of cavern like in the U.S. But I forgot where. I have to search my brochures.

  3. Wow! I’d never even heard of Longhorn Cavern, and now it’s for sure on my bucket list! I really like the many uses that this cave has served over the years, including being a night club in the 1920’s!? How awesome! The cave dog sounds like the ideal pet to me considering I’m allergic to real dogs LOL. Great write up, absolutely loved this one!

    1. We were surprised when we found out all about the cave had/has to offer to its visitors. I really think it’s a must visit while in the area. It’s a unique cave.

  4. I’m trying to imagine a nightclub in this cave and it has me cracking up! This is so cool…and right here in Texas! I’ll have to go and check it out. I absolutely love caverns.

    1. There were pictures of the nightclub, but it was black and white. Pretty cool, right? I like caverns, too, and I want to visit all caverns in Texas.

  5. My brother is a tour guide for Longhorn Cavern so I’ve been in there many times. Your article about the cavern is the best I have seen written, ever. You really captured what it’s like when you are down there, the pictures are great, and I love how you included the history of before the CCC and what they did to make the cave passable for all of us to enjoy today. P.S. My brother is the guide for the photography tours. I’m STILL waiting to do that one. And you should ALL go on the Wild Cave Tour! It’s a little cramped and I came out dirty but unscathed. Not a single nightmare!

    1. Wow and thank you! Does your brother give any input for taking pictures during the tour? Because I’m still struggling and I know I can take better pictures. And yes, we will definitely go back again for the Wild Cave Tour! I hope my minor claustrophobia won’t be a problem.

    1. We wanted to visit Longhorn Cavern last year during Spring Break but it was late already. Then there’s always something at the weekend we thought about going there. Finally, we made it there last Labor Day.

  6. What an informative post! My mother grew up in Texas and her family still lives there. This might just have to go on our next Texas road trip itinerary, as I had never heard of this park before now.

    1. Cool! What part of Texas? Yeah, do stop at Longhorn Cavern. It’s part or close to Hill Country. Lots of point of interests there.

  7. I haven’t been to a cave for ages. The hall of gems looks stunning. And you had an 86-years old tour guide? Wow, hope I’ll still be that active once I reach that age (if I do). The park also looks great. A bit like parts of a European fortress from the Middle Ages.

  8. Wow that looks like such a fun place to visit. I can’t believe the dog was naturally formed! Looks like a statue. My kids would want a pet bat too- shivers lol sounds like you all had a great time. I’m going to put this on my travel list ❤️
