Jenolan Caves
Highlights
Get ready to explore a world underground! The Jenolan Caves are like a magical maze with hidden tunnels, sparkly rocks, and underground rivers. You can join guided tours to learn all about how these caves were formed millions of years ago. For the brave ones, there’s even an adventure tour where you get to climb and crawl through tight spaces like a real explorer!
Above ground, there’s plenty to do too. You can walk around the beautiful Blue Lake, watch for kangaroos and platypuses, and enjoy a yummy snack at the cafe. If you’re staying overnight, you’ll get to sleep in a cool, historic guesthouse. It’s a fun-filled day or weekend for the whole family!

Had such a great time with the family
We came here for my dad’s birthday with the extended family, stayed at the Jenolan Caves House (a little dated but warm and cosy and convenient location). The caves were absolutely amazing!! Definitely worth a spot on your Aussie bucket list!

Such an incredible experience!
Our whole family stayed at Jenolan Caves House for dad's 60th birthday. Dinner in the restaurant was beautiful and the cave tours the next day were absolutely amazing! We took our 3 and 1 year old with us and they really enjoyed it too. We cannot wait to go back again.
