Best Modes of Transport

Driving is by far the easiest and most flexible way to reach Natural Bridge Caverns. From downtown San Antonio, the trip takes about 30–40 minutes via I-35 North. If you’re coming from Austin, expect roughly a 1-hour drive south.

The site offers free parking with plenty of spaces for cars, RVs, and buses. Driving also allows you to combine your cavern visit with nearby attractions, such as the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch.

Services like Uber and Lyft are available throughout San Antonio and can drop you right at the visitor entrance. This is a convenient choice if you don’t want to rent a car.

However, since the caverns are located in a semi-rural area, ride availability for your return trip may be limited. It’s best to schedule your pickup in advance to avoid long waits after your tour.

There are no direct bus or train routes to Natural Bridge Caverns. The closest VIA Metropolitan Transit bus stops are in San Antonio, well outside walking distance.

For travelers relying on public transport, combining a bus into San Antonio with a ride-share or taxi to the caverns is the most practical approach. Renting a car remains the most reliable option for flexibility and time savings.

Accessibility & Inclusion

Wheelchair Access (Ground Level):
While the cavern tours themselves, due to natural formations, narrow passages, and stairs, are not wheelchair accessible, the park’s grounds and buildings such as the Visitor Center, Natural Bridge Mining Company, Maze, and Butterfly Gardens are accessible for guests with mobility restrictions.

Stroller Access:
Strollers are welcome throughout most surface areas. However, due to the twists and bends of the cavern pathways, strollers are not permitted on tours. Stroller parking is provided nearby.


Sensory-Inclusive Support:
Natural Bridge Caverns is certified sensory-inclusive, a first for a commercial cave in the state. In partnership with KultureCity, staff receive special training to assist guests with sensory sensitivities. The venue offers sensory bags equipped with noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, and cue cards, as well as a quiet space for those needing a calm retreat.


Service Animals Only:
Only service animals that comply with ADA standards are allowed inside the caverns and buildings. Pets are permitted in public outdoor areas, as long as they are leashed, managed responsibly, and not left in vehicles. Crates are also available for temporary use on a first-come, first-served basis.
