There are numerous formations to be viewed up close, including "cave bacon", "curtain", stalagmites, and stalactites.
The vertical nature of the cave allows the growth of a formation called "The Cathedral", which is a flowstone and drapery mineral deposit that is approximately 90' tall, and 50' in diameter.
Talking Rocks Cavern is considered a living cave, because with the presence of water, the formations continue to grow.
A 9-hole miniature golf course is available and gemstone sluicing is popular, as well as two nature trails that lead to a 100' lookout tower that offers a panoramic view of the Ozark countryside.
When inclement weather creates hazardous roads in the area, the cave may close for safety purposes.
