You will look at the price and think it is not worth it, but it is worth every penny. This is great experience, there are a lot of scenic views and photo opportunities. We went in the morning on a weekday and it wasn't very busy. It can go as slow or fast as you want it to. Everyone was very friendly and nice. The museum had a large collection of items and took longer than we thought it would. If you ate at one of the restaurants you could easily spend most of your day here. We want to come back and do the trail at night when it is all lit up. I can't recommend this enough for any one that loves the outdoors or history.

Wasn't sure what to expect when we visited here October 2022, Was pleasantly surprised, and this is now something we will plan to do every time we visit Branson. They have two seat and four seat golf carts that you drive along the 3 mi path, stopping along the way at some picturesque places. There is also a cute little bar inside the cave where you can grab a beverage. The golf carts are equipped with tour information, the screen changes based on your location to provide a little more detail about the sites. Make sure you go slow enough so you don't miss screen changes. It's really cool to read about the places along the way, including bridges with history. Included with your ticket is the museum, located at top of the Rock. A shuttle bus takes you back and forth and it's worth a stroll through to see their incredible exhibits. Beautiful place to visit!

We started the tour at 830am. The weather and lighting were perfect for some great shots! The cave was awesome! There is a spot at the top where there is a overlook then it goes down to the first bridge. People were going down the hill and missed the cave to the left. Follow the signs :)It was beautiful and a great way to see the waterfalls, table rock, valley, hills and so much more! A must go!!! Don't worry the golf carts are simple and user friendly. Go get your tickets and enjoy the scenic views!

a wonderful, charming, beautiful and captivating place. I fell in love with so much beauty. I couldn't enjoy it 100% since we arrived a little late, so if you come, arrive very early so you can enjoy all of the paradise. I can come back at any time since I live an hour and 40 minutes away. They have to pay the pass of 39 per person that includes a golf cart with which they can tour the entire place, I tell you it is huge!

Beautiful place! We did the golf cart tour and it was awesome! $40 pp and entry to museum included. It takes about two hours and the views are amazing. There’s a bar in a cave serving alcohol?!! So cool! 😂. We have so much fun! They have Christmas lights all over the place but we didn’t see them because it was daytime. This place is very unique.

It was my idea to bring the whole family out to lost canyon to enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks and spend the day outside! This park was truly not what I was hoping for.. the pretty parts of the park was so perfectly manicured that they just looked unnatural. Between unlit Christmas lights and their cords everywhere and all the fake animals on the water falls just really ruined it for me. It also did not help that anytime we wanted to stop a whole pile up of golf carts rapidly formed behind us. The trail is too narrow in some of the best areas so no one can get around those hoping to stop and enjoy the views. Also, we tried 2 different beverages from the cave bar and both were so gross! (And like everything else here, very overpriced!). There is nowhere to stop to use the bathroom along the trail. Basically we spent a ton of money here and felt very ripped off and disappointed but made the best of it.

Very pretty trail with waterfalls. Oh there is a small cave to go in too. It's a quiet scenic trail to bring the whole family to see. Well worth the trip to see the overlooks of the lake and valleys. The trail is lit at night which would make it a good experience to do after dusk but not sure you could get the views like on a sunny clear day.

Our journey through Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we set foot on the trail, we were greeted by the sight of amazing waterfalls cascading down rock faces, creating a symphony of nature's beauty. The sound of rushing water and the picturesque views set the stage for an unforgettable adventure.One of the most thrilling parts of our experience was driving through the cave in a golf cart. The exhilarating ride through the darkened cave, illuminated only by the dim lights of the cart, was a true adventure unlike any other. The unique opportunity to explore a cave in such a novel and exciting way added an extra layer of excitement to our visit.The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly the stunning views that greeted us at every turn. From the lush greenery to the towering rock formations, every aspect of the landscape was a sight to behold.

The amazing waterfalls, the unique cave drive, and the stunning views all come together to create a truly unforgettable adventure that will leave you in awe.We are grateful for the opportunity to have experienced the magic of Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a memorable and immersive outdoor adventure.

Beautiful, we came with our 6 year old and teenagers on Thanksgiving week and loved it. I recommend coming in the day to see everything and at night to enjoy the lights if your here for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The museum is great if you like history. As dinning goes I recommend checking out the menu. Both are great. But you do need to reserve ahead for Osage Restaurant. Definitely a must for your vacation in Missouri.

This experience was well worth the money. I love nature, so it was awesome to see so much breathtaking scenery and not have to walk it and be exhausted. We will definitely do this again. The ticket comes with a pass to go to the museum also. There are so many artifacts and history. The museum was one of the best for native Americans I've seen. Was there almost 3 hours and still did not soak it all in.

This is not your typical cave experience. This is an awesome golf cart self guided tour in a cave..yes there is beer and amazing waterfalls. It is followed by an extensive upscale natural history museum tour. Dress accordingly, tennis shows not recommended.

The golf cart tour, you drive yourself and view all the beautiful nature that top rock has to offer.You do have to pay to get into Top Rock $10.Then pay for the attraction. Diffently recommend getting the explorer pass if you want to do more attractions. Not all attractions are in Top Rock. One is 30min away and another is 1hr away from Branson.

Best part of our vacation. The chapel is absolutely beautiful. We rented a golf cart and did the trail of lights. That was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone. I will be doing it again.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I loved this tour. It is self-guided, which is even better. I do recommend buying tickets ahead of time online so as not to have to wait in the ticket line. There are so many waterfalls, a look out point, and cool rock formations along the way, as well as parking places for the golf carts so you can get out and take pictures or get better views. Also, take advantage of the Native American Museum that is part of the ticket purchase. A shuttle bus takes you to the top of the ridge and the Museum is there with the restaurants, gift shop and etc. The museum has such a huge display of items that does not disappoint.
