Small cave, great tour

The cave itself isn't that big (no Mammoth or Carlsbad), but the tour is wonderful. There are several different formations that the guide will cover and a short video at the beginning that goes over the cave's formation and history. Great tour for kids since...More

Great Caves

I truly enjoyed this cave tour. I was so happy to get the "cave kisses" (cave water drippings) dripping on me. I also enjoyed seeing the cave formations and "cave bacon."

Lots of formations, easy walk, great for kids

The caves are on the smaller side but there are many formations and colors. The tour guide was great and because it was October the kids got to “trick or treat” in the cave during the tour. They handed out cool rocks and fossils and...More

I will be traveling with my parents, I would like to do the tour only, no rock digging etc. but my parents are 87 and 81 and have some mobility issues so the Caves will not work for them. Is there anywhere for them to sit in the month of June while I view the cave tour? Or anywhere else close by that I can leave them at for a bit and drive to the Caves?
