Blanchard Springs Caverns in Arkansas are
one of the state’s most amazing scenic attractions. The phantasmagoric
rock formations found in locations such as the Soda Straw Room and the
Coral Pool are unforgettable sights and potent reminders of nature’s
endless wonder; photos of Blanchard Springs Caverns only begin to capture
their splendor.
Three guided interpretive tours are offered by the Forestry Service
take visitors through different sections of the caverns. Reservations
are non-compulsory for the Dripstone and Discovery Trail tours, but
are still a good idea, particularly in the summer, or for larger parties
of visitors (groups of 10 or more people receive a discount on the Dripstone
and Discovery tours if reservations are made at least 1 day in advance).
Reservations are required for the Wild Cave Tour. To make reservations
call toll-free 1-888-757-2246.
Blanchard Springs Caverns has a constant year-round temperature of 58°
F and nearly 100% relative humidity, so lightweight jacket and low-heeled
shoes with good traction are recommended. Most pets are not allowed
in the Caverns; seeing-eye dogs and other and service animals are the
exception.
