Wookey Hole Reviews

This review is about Wookey Hole which I recently visited on holiday. The caves at Wookey are really interesting to visit. You are given a guided tour around the caves. You learn about some of the legends about the caves and some of the history of them. For example you learn that the first and the deepest cave dives have been at Wookey but not ...  Read the complete review

Total waste of a day! - After parking the car what seemed about a mile away, my Partner and I had to que for over an hour to get to the pay cubicle (it's only when you get to to the cubicle that there is a sign telling that it's going to cost £15 per person to get in!!) Once paid we walked along towards the caves and guess what?..........Yep, ...  Read the complete review

What can i say about Wookey Hole? We queued for about half an hour to get our tickets and then took the well worn, picturesque bath to the entrance, where we were escorted down some very steep and even slippier steps and told a story about the resident Witch which ended with a couple of children clinging for dear life on to their parents legs, ...  Read the complete review

For Heavens Sake... dont bother going... We have just returned from a "Day Trip" to Wookey Hole..... My husband and I took our daughte (14) and it cost us £40 for the ticket.... The caves are a waste of time... the tour to see the witch etc lasted approximately 30 minutes! The caves in themselves were ok, but what a disappoiment with ...  Read the complete review

I'm back from our day trip there today. Fairly tired to be honest, but here is the low down. Travel I drove by minibus from the West Midlands, and it took us over 2 and ½ hours. Past Bristol the roads started to get very narrow and we had to reverse a few times to let people past. This would have been the same for a car. We planned ...  Read the complete review

I first visited Wookey Hole caves at the age of 7 or 8 with my primary school in Taunton, it was a different entrance and caves were all you got for the entrance fee. My partner also visited them years ago, and we both agree one thing - they were scary. So much so, that I had bad dreams for weeks not wanting to be turned into stone like the ...  Read the complete review

LOCATION Wookey Hole is situated in Somerset, around 20 miles from both Bath and Bristol and just 2 miles from Wells. THE PLACE ITSELF Car parking is free and there is a good sized car park with clean toilets located before the entrance. Alongside the caves there are a number of other smaller attractions so you can expect to ...  Read the complete review

Average four stars at the time of writing? You have got to be joking - I can't see anyone rating this giant, tacky rip-off in darkest Somerset any higher than a 'three' - and that's for the cave itself, which don't get me wrong, is fantastic. Mother nature, left to her - or its - own devices got it 100% right there - and the setting of the ...  Read the complete review

What a complete waste of money! The caves were lovely, but after 30 mins, it's all over and you're left with some plastic animals to look at and a childrens circus which was boring. Too much hype for what it was. I would never advise anyone to go here. 2 1/2 hours is all we could stretch our day out to!!!

After visiting this year I do intend to visit again in the future. Ok the prices are not the cheapest but it is well worth it. The only part I did not like was the fact I was happy I had managed to get the whole way around the guided tour of the caves without either falling over or seeing a spider - only for the guide to show us a whole heap of ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Wookey Hole, a system of caves near Wells in Somerset, is somewhere that I have wanted to visit for a long time. The caves have the reputation of being among, if not, the most spectacular show caves in the country. So when on a family holiday in the area last week, I was determined to go. However, since I was holidaying ...  Read the complete review

6 years ago, while I was an impoverished student, I had a holiday job as a tour guide at Wookey Hole Caves, so feel well-qualified to explain why you should all visit. Admittedly, the admission charge is extortionate, but many attractions are similarly-priced, and offer far less entertainment. After paying at the ticket office, ...  Read the complete review

I went to Wookey hole as a child of 8 and again this year as an adult (never mind the age!!) and both times have had a really good day. I wouldn't go as far as to describe it as a theme park but there are various attractions and it is a good day out. The caves are, of course, wonderful. The guide explains everything from the ...  Read the complete review

Wookey Hole is best known for its caves, and these are certainly spectacular (even the rather joky guided tour doesn't take away their impact). They have escaped the kind of gimmicky makeover that's spoiled some of the nearby Cheddar caves. A small museum gives an insight into their exploration. However, there's also ...  Read the complete review

I had the opportunity to re-vist Wookey Hole last year after a gap of some 20 years. I must say although some of it was familiar, there are now a lot more caves accessable. I was not dissappointed in any way, the tricks of mother nature are awesome, the caves are spectacular. The paths & steps have been improved no end but Health ...  Read the complete review
