Longhorn Cavern State Park near Burnet features an underground cave system formed by an ancient riverbed, where visitors descend 52 stone steps into a constant 68-degree environment. The walking tour follows a developed path through cave rooms with geological formations, while the wild cave tour takes visitors through undeveloped lower levels without modern lighting or pathways, requiring certain physical abilities. Additional attractions include gemstone mining in a sluice where visitors uncover natural treasures, crack-your-own geode experiences revealing crystals formed over thousands of years, and a blacklight tour using specialized flashlights to reveal hidden cave features. The park also operates a gift shop with in-house designed apparel, a snack bar serving pizza and ice cream, and scenic walking trails above ground. The site suits families, school groups, and adventure seekers of varying fitness levels. Visitors can explore the historic CCC buildings and picnic areas surrounding the cavern.
Hours: Weekdays 9am to 5pm, Weekends/Holidays 9am to 6pm
