In addition to the cave system, Longhorn Cavern State Park offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, and picnicking. The park also has a visitor center, a gift shop, and a café.
Some of the specific points of interest within the cave system include the Crystal City room, the Indian Council Room, and the Hall of Diamonds. The park is also home to a number of unique species of wildlife, including the Mexican free-tailed bat and the golden-cheeked warbler.
Interesting facts about Longhorn Cavern State Park include the fact that the cave system was used as a speakeasy during the Prohibition era and as a fallout shelter during the Cold War. The park was also used as a filming location for a number of movies and TV shows, including the original "Tarzan" series.
