💬 What Visitors Say
- Book your visit in advance as reservations are required. Plan for 30-45 minutes for the cave tour itself, plus time to explore the gift shop and museum exhibits.
- Wear closed-toe sneakers and bring a lightweight jacket—the cavern has wet walks and maintains cool underground temperatures year-round.
- The knowledgeable tour guides provide valuable geological and historical context about cave formations. If you prefer a more interactive experience, consider asking your guide specific questions about stalactites, stalagmites, and the underground river rather than waiting for them to prompt you.
- Bring a camera—the cave formations and underground river create excellent photo opportunities. Just remember not to touch the delicate formations to preserve them.
- The gift shop and mineral/jewelry supply store are highlights of the visit with affordable, unique items. Budget extra time and money to browse the collection of rocks, minerals, and museum pieces.
