A fascinating blend of education and entertainment for the entire family, the Cave Tour (formerly known as the Family Tour) is a one-hour guided walking tour suitable for all ages. The caverns are beautifully presented by a state-of-the-art lighting system and all walkways are well maintained with safety hand railings.
On your journey you will voyage into a pristine underground world formed millions of years ago. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you and your family will discover new wonders and learn about the history, geology and legends of Colorado’s recently opened world-class show cave.
Visitors of all ages will be amazed by The Barn and King's Row, gigantic rooms deep within the earth with other-worldly cave formations such as soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites and cave bacon still alive and growing!
The tour is highlighted by a visit to “Exclamation Point”, a cliff side balcony boasting panoramic views of the Glenwood Canyon and the Colorado River. This look at the vast valley and the green and rugged western slopes of the Rocky Mountains is one of the best scenic views available to everyone, not just hikers or skiers.
Because of the stairs and walkways that allow for safe foot travel through the cavern’s natural terrain, we’re unable to allow wheelchairs or strollers into the caverns.
The Cave Tour is approximately .5 mile in length and includes 127 stairs. Due to the elevation (7100’) and slight exertion required, the tour is not recommended for persons who are pregnant or have heart or respiratory problems.
