In April 2016, Sam I said about Scott's Grotto
I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived given the only entrance fee was a suggested £1 donation and it only being open Saturday afternoons, but this is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area.
Inside you'll find a warren of tunnels lined with shells and stones, Torches are provided but I'd recommend bringing your own too. It's a bit nippy too so wear a jacket.
It only takes 5 minutes or so to explore so it's not a day trip, but we did go round twice. It's definitely worth a look, although the location in the centre of a residential street means parking isn't easy. The guides/wardens were very friendly and knowledgeable.

My son loves Scotts Grotto! From the age of 3 (he is now 6) he has been visiting. The Grotto is a set of pitch black underground tunnels. What more does any child want!? A torch and a dark labyrinth of tunnels to run around in and make up fantasies and imagine adventures!
There is a voluntary donation for an entrance fee. So it's a very cheap hour of kids entertainment. We live very close to the Grotto. Not sure I would travel to Ware to only see the Grotto, however there are lots of other family activities in Ware you could chose to do afterwards.

An amazing small "folly" which is mainly underground. Only open occasionally at weekends. Our young grand children loved it, and loved the excitement of exploring dark underground tunnels using a torch each.Well decorated with shells stuck to the walls Take torches if you plan to visit.

This is well worth a visit - it's great fun exploring with a torch and bigger than you might expect. The guides are very friendly and parking is easy.

We visited Scotts Grotto as a family with two children aged 7 and 12. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The tour guide that gives you a little bit of information about the grotto before you go in was very friendly and informative. The tunnels are very dark so it is best to take a torch, although the volunteers do offer to lend you one. It took us just under an hour to go around and see the summer house. The admission is a voluntary donation of £1 per adult. I would definitely recommend Scotts Grotto!

Always a great trip for young people so many hidden gems to see - if you take a torch. A wonderful bizarre grotto tucked away in Ware

This is certainly a hidden treasure trove in suburbia. I loved the history and had fun walking through the tunnels with the teenagers hiding in the dark to make me jump. So don't forget your torch! This is not a huge place but it's packed full of charm and cuteness. Visit in combination with a walk along the river for a fab afternoon out.

If you come to visit Ware ensure you take time out to visit this little gem. I've lived in Ware all my life and decided it was time to visit and I'm so glad I did. Will be taking my friends there in future if they haven't been.

I never knew about this place and stumbled upon it looking on the Internet for cheap things to do with kids. My 10yr old daughter and her friend loved it. It is like a cave system, dark and cold but the walls are covered in stones and shells. You are free to explore at your leisure choosing which way to go, so can go at your own speed, and can touch the shells and take pictures and videos. It was fascinating and I will definitely be recommending it to people. It is only open on Saturdays and bank holidays though!
