Review & FAQ:
Majestic Caverns (formerly DeSoto Caverns) are located approximately a 20-minute drive from Talladega within the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, near the city of Childersburg. The cave was long used by the region’s indigenous Copena population prior to the arrival of Spanish explorers and served as a notable saltpeter mining site during the American Civil War before being converted into a covert dancehall and speakeasy during Prohibition known as the Bloody Bucket. Today, it offers daily public tours as a show cave, showcasing one of the world’s largest-known collections of onyx-marble speleotherms. A number of family-friendly attractions are offered on site, including a gemstone mining attraction, Lost Trail Maze, and children’s amusement rides.
