Weekday mornings offer the smallest tour groups and most personalized experience. Spring and fall provide the most comfortable temperatures for combining cave tours with camping and outdoor exploration around the property.

Tours are guided only and last about an hour, involving stairs and uneven walking surfaces. The campground offers full hookups if you want to stay overnight, and there's a small gift shop but no restaurant on-site.
