What visitors say
A lovely park to go and visit… beautiful walks around lake and stream, part of the longer Archaeological Way… My first visit in over 40 years since I went with Primary School. It was great! Very spur of the moment, I booked tickets for a cave tour for me and my Mum an hour before we left home. Chloe took us round the largest cave. Approx a 1 hour session. Very engaging, very informative, involved the younger visitors a lot, you could sense her enthusiasm throughout! We had a lovely chat too on the way back. Keep up the good work! Included in the £15 cave tour cost was entry to the normally £5 exhibition featuring lots of interactive displays and artefacts and displays. We were also given a voucher offering a free return visit for two to access one of the other cave tours. Lovely Cafe on site with Cheese Scones and Clotted Cream scones to die for! Also picnic areas, dog (on lead) friendly… lots to see and do for a reasonable £5 all day car park fee. Will be returning to explore more of this gorge and the area.

Unforgettable beauty of a historic landmark which is very close to junction 30 of the M1. Really enjoyed the walk round and a visit to the museum. Parking is only £5 and the cafe looked well provisioned. The local wildlife are in abundance and don't seem bothered by your presence.

Nice place to learn about prehistotic britain booked a cave tour so you can go inside the caves its a different experience. My tour guide was great but cant remember his name he explained the history about the place and witch markes inside the cave its really nice tour around one hour. Museum is inteecative and small but can learn lots of things spend another 2 hours in the museum and walking in and around. Its a nice place to hangaround in a sunny day and if you book a tour you can visit the place for a whole year will visit with the family nrxt time

Myself and my partner came to Creswell Crags for the ice age art tour. We were both really impressed by our tour guide Simon. He was personable, warm and clearly very passionate. He spoke to all of our group individually and seemed to get on with all walks of life. He was knowledgeable about the subject and really brought it to life for me. I actually feel a lot more interested about art history now and it is because of Simon 🤗 thank you so much
