If you can only take 1 tour , do the Big Room . A greater sense of the expanse of the cave & info about the bats who roost there seasonally. If you go on Tuesday, take the tour w/ Bill Flower as guide .

The Rotunda/Throne tour is pretty frickin cool! If you can, go with Dave Ottens for the tour guide . Amazing! No photos allowed. No cellphones either.

Chris Norton

From OCT 15 to APR 15 BOTH rooms in the cavern are open and can be toured at the same time. Otherwise one room is closed to tours due to seasonal use by a community of bats.

Judy Bailey

A memorable experience! The formations in the cave are colorful and soothing music plays. Small restaurant with nice sandwiches and great gift shop .

'Live caverns ' means...the stalactites and stalagmites are still growing, not having been contaminated by polluted human hands.

When I worked for the state , I wrote the wastewater treatment plant permit (for this location) to operate.

The Throne Room tour is very cool!

Kathy V ????

Drive 40 mins & paid $6 to see cave only to be told tours have ended for the day. Guidebook did not mention a cutoff time to see the cave - disappointed.

Dan Erickson

Get reservations or wait to get in... hours.

This place was great! Everything was homemade. $12.99 for the prime rib breakfast special. Sooo much food, had to take 1/2 of it home. I'll be back for sure. - Tim H 
