💡 Good to Know
- The typical season runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, depending on snow. Confirm a bookable tour; this is not a year-round walk-in attraction.
- The roughly 80-minute, three-quarter-mile tour includes 888 stairs, which may be wet. The cave is not ADA accessible and stays near 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Check in at the lower ticket booth one hour before your tour, then drive to the upper parking area.
- To protect bats, do not bring clothing or items previously taken into another cave or mine. Follow the required foot-wash procedure and wear shoes with good traction.
