If you can wear the baby in a harness or sling, it would be just fine. :) Definitely no stroller access though!

Due to the cave's sensitive ecosystem, the only animals allowed in the cave are service dogs. If you have a kennel, you could leave your furry friends in our office while you are on your tour.

Not really, I wore shoes, that were ok with wet and slippery stairs. I wear flip flops all the time but not there. You have about 124 stairs to climb down and back up so you need good shoes. It isn't a bad climb and well worth the effort to see it.

Yes, we have picnic tables and lots of green space to enjoy a picnic after your tour.

Thanks for the great question and the suggestion we add a note to maybe the bottom of each concert event. Tours are separate from the shows. Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, the last tour of the day is usually at 4 PM with most concerts starting at 7 PM; between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the last tour of the day departs at 5 PM with most concerts starting at 7:30 PM. The tour cost is $20 for 13 and over; $10 for Youth 6-12; Children five and under are no charge when accompanied by an adult. (more information on our web page under the "Tours and Prices" tab. (Sorry, but Trip Advisor does not allow links in our answers.) Purchase your tour tickets at the visitor's center. The tour takes about an hour. If you want to take the last tour of the day, you may want to bring a picnic to enjoy after the tour and before the concert. Picnic tables are on the grounds. A "Buy Now" button is on the concert page - again you need to access the web page and go to the concert of interest for details. It is less expensive to buy Advance tickets. If you prefer, you may call the cave at 830.537.4212 to purchase your concert tickets.

The first tour of the day departs at 9:15 AM; the next at 10:00 AM and then every 20 minutes until 5 PM. The longest wait is 20 minutes. We look forward to your visit.

It is the last weekend of Spring Break for many schools. It has been a busy week. However, additional staff and frequent tours allow guests to see the cave without long waits. Other activities - hiking trails, gift shop, mining sluice, hopping rocks, geode cutting - round out the country visit. There are still a few tickets remaining for the Spring Solstice, Saturday night, March 18th.

The only entrance/exit to the cave is 126 steps. There is no rush in or out on the steps. Handrails are available. Many seniors - even 90 plus - do the cave; many cannot due to health issues. The duck under mentioned above is no longer an issue. Courtesy of recent construction in the cave, only those over 6' 3" need to duck to enter the cave. A visit to the cave is a truly memorable experience.

Based on the definition of a theater, "a building or outdoor area in which plays and other dramatic performances are given . . . ", the straight answer is no. However, there is a large room accommodating 200 people with about a forty foot dome ceiling, a stage, and seating area. The dome creates amazing acoustics. Nature yields amazing surroundings. Performances range from folk music to Opera, from Broadway songs performed by amazing actors to classical renditions performed by amazing talents. Attending an event in the Throne Room of Cave Without A Name is a most memorable experience!

Musicals, weddings, corporate events, etc. in the Throne Room are truly memorable experiences. Nature's views are beautiful; the acoustics are dynamic. Performers and attendees are amazed. During the spring of 2016, a raised performance stage became a great addition. In the process of building the stage, the "duck under" was removed as well. Check our web-page for event schedules.
