Review:
Regarded as one of Tennessee’s oldest natural attractions, the Bristol Caverns draws in and amazes large crowds of tourists every year. As visitors tour through levels of vaulted chambers and the winding banks of an ancient underground river over 100 feet below the earth’s surface, they’ll find beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations in various sizes and dazzling hues of red, blue, and even sparkling wine. The caverns date back beyond the frontier era, where Native Americans would use the underground river as a route to attack and escape from foreign settlers. In addition to tours, gemstone panning and picnic areas are also available along with a gift shop offering rocks, geodes, and other souvenirs.
