Description

If you grow weary of climbing mountains this attraction allows you to mole inside one instead. Originally deemed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" the caverns shut down during World War I and did not regain attraction-status until the 80s. The guided Family Tour is a great way to get awed by stalagmites and stalactites and lasts about two hours. The adventurous can opt for the guided Wild Tour which explores many of the cave's undeveloped chambers. Advanced reservations are required for the Wild Tour and is restricted to kids over 13. Family Tour admission: USD12 for adults, USD7 kids for children 3-12; Wild Tour: USD50 per person.
