    Our guide Dylan H was great! Very informative, took his time explaining about and showing different areas. Kept a nice pace for everyone. Cave itself is awesome! Be sure to wear comfy non slip shoes and definitely take a light jacket. Especially for the little ones.
  • By Doug Perry
    Good choice for a cavern tour. You get to travel 225ft into the mountain and explore some pretty cool caves. We wished there were a few more cool looking crystals, but it was still a great tour. Also, you can't beat the cool 47-52 degree temperature in the caves when it's 85 degrees or hotter outside!
