Several tour levels are available from the one hour family friendly Adventure Tour to the more extreme, physically demanding Wild Cave Tour. The Adventure Tour departs on a first come first served basis every 20 to 30 minutes. Throughout the one mile walk, a tour guide explains the history of the caverns and draws attention to the different rock formations. Be sure to wear comfortable, non-slip walking shoes and expect a humid climate underground. Please note that while the tour is available for all ages, strollers and wheelchairs are not permitted in the cave.
After a tour through the cavern, spend some time panning for gems or hop on the new zip ride, The Saber Tooth. You can also grab a bite to eat from the snack bar while the younger kids play on the playground.
