Another lady who was the tour guide asked if we could be added to the group and/or go on the 10:30 tour. We asked if we could be added to the group since 9 people hadn’t showed up and they said no. There were 9 empty spots out of twenty in the 10 am tour group. The tour at 10am was about to leave and they had said it was sold out. The lady at the cash register along with the gentleman were incredibly rude and acted like bullies toward us. He then told me that it wasn’t his choice to be in the Tuscon passport and he wished they were never in it. When I told them it wasn’t on their website, a gentleman who was in the office told me that there is way too much to put in their website and they couldn’t possibly do that. This is not stated on their website or the Tuscon passport site. They told us that we were supposed to purchase tickets online and then come in with the coupon and get a refund. We also tried to call and was told today that their phone have been down for three days. Yesterday we tried to order tickets online for the 10am cave tour, but there was no way to redeem our passport discount. We purchased the Tuscon passport for the local attractions. Be aware that this requires going up and down a few hundred stairs over the course of the tour.We are visiting from Maryland and had planned on visiting Colossal Caves. ![]() The road leading to the parking lot is in basic disrepair with potholes and cracks but any car should be able to navigate it. There is a gift shop on site for kitschy stuff. We didn't make reservations on line but I could see how that might be necessary. We went on a Monday morning and it wasn't overly crowded. The tour took about 50 minutes and the tours start at the top of the hour. ![]() Many of the stalactites have been broken off over the years, either naturally or by humans. Having said that, this is interesting if you don't want to drive out to kartchner. I have been to both and kartchner is much more interesting. I agree with a different submission that says to go to kartchner if you have a choice. Anyone who knows how to use a gps based direction system would take an additional 10 minutes at most. While the road leading to the cave from I-10 is under construction, I disagree with the previous submission talking about 3 hours. Our family truly enjoyed our visit.the love and joy that Joyce has for the desert and animals really shows and was a big part. Also included was the petting zoo, which our daughter loved almost as much as riding Annie, the Norwegian Draft horse she rode through the desert! Bunnies, alpacas, chickens, mini horses, mini donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep.and we were lucky to be there when there were baby bunnies and kittens. So much so, that when helping my husband on Freddie, she reminded him he likes to stop for a snack of grass along the trail, and to not let him! The desert ride was breath taking. She knows each and every horse well, making it easy for her to pair a rider with a horse. ![]() She was great with our 10 year old daughter, even allowing her to ride in the ring area after our ride was over, after learning she has been taking riding lessons. Joyce, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area we were riding through and truly loves what she is doing. The Park also has a riding stable a bit down the road.which we loved! (look on their website under Stables) Our family did a 45 minute ride through the was fabulous. They are doing some renovations, so it will be interesting to see what all goes in. ![]() We did get a pizza from the Cafe, which was good. Our guide was young, but very knowledgeable about the cave and its history. We did the regular cave tour and enjoyed it very much. ![]()
