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.
