When my autistic son began to interrupt her despite our attempts, instead of being rude and short. As well as making conversation as we moved through the cave with us as well as the other families. The cave was astonishingly beautiful, the formations cover the cave all over! She answered my children’s at least 5,000 questions with good solid answers you’d expect her to give to an adult. Throughout the tour Elizabeth calmed us as she could already see our worried expressions, assuring us that his as well as our other children’s on going questions were not a problem. My oldest son as well as 5 year old daughter started right out of the gate with questions before even entering the cave, we prepared for exasperation from the young guide but we’re pleasantly surprised with patience. We were given a young guide named Elizabeth, she called for the tour with a smile (you could even see through a mask). The gift shop staff was kind with all of our questions, but the real standing out factor was our tour guide. They do require masks for gift shop and tour, and had a very clean and family friendly environment. The tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. The final breakthrough awesome tour came from Diamond Caverns! We almost didn’t do it but decided on our way we would check it out, and we are so so glad we did. But we visited mammoth cave, the crystal cave as well as the Lost river cave in bowling green and were saddened every time by the guides treatment of my child that was just excited about the caves. Now I’m not saying that every place must be perfect with my child, autistic children offer their own sort of challenges many people will never understand. My oldest son is 7 years old and has severe Aspergers a disorder that puts him on the Autism spectrum and can make it very difficult for him to understand social Cues. That being said me and my husband have been disappointed with the treatment of our children at many establishments that were not Diamond caverns. This was a last minute trip for me and my family just a quick visit to Kentucky before the school year. We visited the Diamond cavern cave last week.
