Naracoorte Caves - Wonambi Fossil Centre

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must visit World Heritage site We had a fantastic experience at Naracoorte Caves, especially on the 30 minute guided tour of Alexandra Cave. We were lucky to arrive 20 minutes before the next tour and grab a spot, but many earlier tours were already booked out, including the one we ended up on, so I would definitely recommend booking in advance to avoid missing out. While we waited, we explored the Wonambi Fossil Centre (included with any tour ticket). The kids had a great time in there, and I really enjoyed the engaging displays. It was the perfect introduction before heading into the cave. The cave itself was spectacular. The formations are beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable, sharing plenty of interesting information that kept both adults and kids engaged. It is a great mix of being educational and awe inspiring at the time scales the geological features have formed in. There is plenty to do around the grounds as well. The nature playground, open grassy areas and interpretive signage meant the kids were easily entertained before and after our tour. Practical perks: • Plenty of parking • On site café with drinks and treats • Accessibility: The cave has steep stairs at entry and exit with handrails, and uneven ground with low lighting inside. It is authentic and well preserved, but something to be mindful of for older visitors or those with mobility challenges. Parents carrying younger kids seemed fine. A brilliant, family friendly stop and a reminder of why this place is World Heritage listed — highly recommend!
