Talking Rocks Cavern is a system of caves located about 15 minutes from Branson, discovered by accident in the late 1800s. It is privately owned and operated by Herschend Family Entertainment, which offers regular tours of the caves.


The tour starts by going down a series of 265 steps connected by platforms that reach to the floor of the cave. The caves are well lit and have a number of beautiful crystalline formations, such as “curtain” and the “bacon.” The tour includes a sound and light show and on the outside offers visitors additional activities such as a SpeleoBox crawl maze, a lookout tower, nature trails, and picnic areas.
