The Crystal Palace has been modified to include striking lights, pathways, steps, and handrails. Education is the focus of our tours. Our guide will explain how the caves form, provide a history of the cave and point out a wide variety of formations. You will see stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, and much more, including rare shield and helictite formations! You will have a chance to view cave wildlife, including bats and salamanders, as well as ancient fossils. Photography is welcomed; however, you must keep up with the group.
