The bridge is really something to behold. It is amazing to think of all the water that once rushed through that area in order to carve a bridge into the stone.
There are others things to see, but be prepared to WALK. The places to rest are few and far between. I remember seeing an old mine that had bats in it. Didn't go too far into that one.
There was a Monacan village I would have liked to have seen, but it closed at 5PM and we were too late. Kids would probably enjoy that. They have programs during the day involving customs, rituals, etc.
As for price, there is a combo ticket you can buy. It is $26 for hotel guests and $28 for non guests (adult). Children's price is $13 as a guest, $14 non guest. The ticket includes the Natural Bridge, the caverns, the wax museum and the toy museum. I found the wax museum disappointing, but the toy museum was nostalgic, and you might as well see everything since you are there.

The Drama of Creation

The drama of creation isn't a movie, but this is the closest place I could find to put the review.
At dark (time varies accd. to season) you gather at the Natural Bridge and sit on some benches they have set up there. A booming recorded voice tells of the creation as orchestral music plays and colored lights are turned on in different places illuminating the bridge.
Personally, I was bored, but I do think it is worth going to once.
