Visiting Mitchelstown Cave was an unforgettable experience. The moment you step inside, the outside world disappears – the cool air, the echo of footsteps, and the dramatic rock formations make you feel as though you’ve entered another realm. The Cathedral chamber is especially breathtaking, with its soaring ceiling and incredible natural acoustics.

🔦 Tour & Guides The guided tour lasted about 45 minutes and was well-paced, full of fascinating history and geology explained in a clear, engaging way. The guide made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while moving through the chambers.

🧥 Facilities & Comfort • The cave keeps a steady 12°C all year round – so bring a jumper, even in summer. • The paths are well-maintained with safe steps and lighting, though sturdy shoes are recommended. • Parking is available on site, and the entrance area has a small reception where you can buy tickets.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Visitors • Perfect for families, groups, or solo explorers. • Not suitable for very young children in prams or for visitors with severe mobility issues due to steps. • Photography is allowed in certain areas, but flash can disturb the atmosphere.

🎶 Special Note Knowing that concerts are sometimes held inside the Cathedral chamber, I left with a strong wish to come back one day to hear music performed in such a magical space. The acoustics alone would make it unforgettable.

Overall, Mitchelstown Cave is more than just a sightseeing stop – it’s a journey into Ireland’s hidden underworld, perfectly managed for visitors while still preserving its mystery. Highly...

This is my first time back fo Mitchelstown Caves in the longest time, brought my husband and 2 kids, 5 and 2 Our tour guide, Abbey, was fab, really knowledgeable, really enthusiastic, great with kids.

The caves themselves were fantastic to see, the steps on the way down are so steep, they do warn you before you go in, they are manageable, but as a person who suffers with fear of heights and also being as clumsy as I am. This was hard for me. However that's a personal problem, I just feel it's worth mentioning for people like myself. The cave itself is quite easy to walk through, they are beautiful and the history of the caves etc is quite interesting. It's a beautiful area to visit, with picnic amenities and spotless toilets. The price point if €26 for a family of four absolutely rivals the jet2 holiday experience....iykyk 🤣

Overall a great experience and 100% worth...

Very cool experience that is not always on the top of the tourist list. As an Irish resident now, it took me 3 years to get over to it, but I wish we had gone sooner. Not the easiest spot to get to. Have to drive on some typical Irish roads. Ample parking in a lot next to the house at the entrance (though could overflow on a very busy day). There is a slight walk to get to the cave and then many steps down in and up out. If you have anxiety about enclosed spaces, this is not for you. Once you are downstairs, everything opens up and there is lots of space to move around. We went with a mixed group of about 20 total. There is a guide who walks you through the history. Some picnic tables with nice views before entering the cave too. Definitely recommend.
