Review: A Must-Visit Experience at Fairy Caves

If you’re visiting Glenwood Caverns, you absolutely cannot miss the Fairy Caves tour—it’s one of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

The guided tour is fantastic. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories about the discovery of the caves, how they’ve been preserved, and what life around them used to be like. They point out stunning formations and fun facts throughout—one that really stuck with me was learning that even the full-length guided tours (including beginner and advanced paths) only cover about 4% of the cave system!

We also had the chance to experience the blacklight phenomenon inside the cave, and that was truly mind-blowing. It added a magical twist to an already incredible tour. The guides do an amazing job of making the tour feel exciting, educational, and fun from start to finish. The 40–60 minutes flew by.

One of the highlights is a spot in the cave where you step out onto a balcony overlooking the cliff—a breathtaking view and a perfect photo op.

I visited with my wife, my seven-year-old son, and a friend, and we all thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The Fairy Caves are a must-see for anyone in Glenwood Springs—you won’t regret it!

Beautiful set of caves, complete with a mountainside overlook of the entire Glen Springs valley. Our tour guide Ashley kept things fun and informative, leading us to a nice variety of rock formations. Both we and our kids thoroughly enjoyed it! If you're in the area, it's a must-see attraction. Tours depart every 20 mins, and the tour takes 40 mins in total.

Beautiful views. The tour guide was funny and so nice. The cave was easy to maneuver- even for my 4 year old. Make sure to go in at the bottom and don’t try to drive up using the google maps- it will take you around the mountain and then you have to turn around on private property and come back down 👀👀

Loved the tour! The cave was very interesting, and our guide, Khloe, was a hoot! It was especially interesting to come out of the mountain at Exclamation Point.

It was a really good tour and lot of information on the cave and the history. It really liked it and recommended this tour. We did this one first and then moved to the other cave tour.

I had a WONDERFUL time in the magical fairy caves this weekend. The group sizes are small and comfortable and accommodating with COVID. The cave guides are friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much rich history and processes of how the caves formed. It was an experience I will not forget! 🤗
