Regular Tours
are approximately 1 mile in length and last 60-75 minutes. You will be accompanied by a well trained guide throughout the beauty of the cavern. The temperature underground averages a comfortable 54 degrees throughout the year. There are 53 steps total, broken down into two separate sections. It is partially wheelchair accessible, however the pathways are a combination of concrete and gravel and there is a steep ramp descending into the cavern. These depart approximately every 15-20 minutes throughout the day.

Explorer Tours

Wild Tours
are approximately 3-3.5 hours in length. These are tours that will take you off the developed pathways and into the undeveloped parts of the cavern including a visit to the Bat Chambers. Come prepared to get wet and muddy and be challenged more than you dreamed possible. There are several optional crawls you may choose to do while on the wild tour including Tonya's Torture which is only 7 1/2" high and Roger's Rib Breaker, a 6 1/2" squeeze.  Helmets and gloves are supplied and you will need to bring a source of light, either a flashlight or headlamp. Kneepads are something you might also want to consider. Don't forget a COMPLETE change of clothes for afterwards. We guarantee you will need it!!!
