Natural Bridge Caverns
Natural Bridge Caverns offers an incredible learning experience – with a sense of adventure on our ropes course! Learn what is possible at 180 feet underground, where ancient formations are still in the making. Natural Bridge Caverns is much more than a story about a cave. It’s the story of a family that took their connection to the land and evolved it into passionate stewardship for the natural beauty and wonder both above and beneath their feet. Natural Bridge Caverns Discovery Tour was developed with two main goals in mind: preservation of the caverns' environment and comfort of its guests. The result is one of the world's premier show caverns, and one of the most popular attractions in Texas.

HELPFUL LESSON PLAN(S)

Cave & Mine Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
In history, caves have been used as shelter, as canvases for cave paintings, for rituals, and for food and weapons storage. In addition to historical relevance, caves also have unique geological features. On your tour be on the lookout for crystals, pools of water, stalagmites, and stalactites.
Mines are filled with useful materials that we use today. Coal is used to create electricity. Gold is used in the making of computers and jewelry. Limestone is used to make sidewalks and statues and monuments. Gypsum is used to make wallboards and plaster which is used in the construction of homes. Ask your tour guides about what the processes are like for mining each of these resources. How long does it take? What do each of these look like in their raw state?
