Cascade Caverns is a limestone cave located about 3 miles from Boerne, Texas. It has been run as a show cave since 1932 and the informal private tours have been organized since 1875 when the property with the caverns was owned by Dr. Benjamin Hester.

Even before that, the Lipan Apache people, native to the area, knew about the caverns. Cascade Caverns were formed during the Lower Cretaceous Period and are part of the much larger Glen Rose Formation.

Open to the outside world for thousands of years, the cave contains remains of mastodons and saber-toothed tigers as well as 18th century artifacts from the Lipan Apache. Cascade Caverns enjoy constant average temperature of 60-65°F.

There is a 45-minute tour that runs through half a mile of corridors and chambers, going 132 feet below the surface into the Cathedral Room.
