Today is a good day for a legendary adventure! Wear your worst pair of jeans and your most comfortable pair of boots. Don't forget your hard hat, head lamp, and a pocket flashlight. You're gonna be walking, feeling, crawling, and climbing your way through the largest known cave system in the world...IN THE WORLD!!! So large, that it's mostly unexplored.
Before you arrive at the park, browse this list of cave tours, research the one that's right for you, and schedule a tour time. Some of the tours are self-guided, if you're not one for waiting.

In summary, you and the kids can walk around and examine all kinds of life-size dinosaur models, interact with some of the exhibits, and run, jump, climb, and crawl some more at the dinosaur-themed playground. Friendly dogs are also welcome!
Summer heat beating you down? They also have an indoor prehistoric museum filled with real and cast prehistoric fossils. Hit the gift shop on your way out, and make your way back to camp.
Please don't say you've come all this way to only go on one or 2 cave tours! You've got a nice R&R day coming up tomorrow, so let's lace those boots back up for one more adventure.
Check out the Violet City Lantern Tour tonight, or go on a Wild Cave Tour...if you're not afraid of tight spaces!
Now that the adventuring has come to an end, tuck into one last campfire meal and hit the sack. Relax with some of our selected entertainment to the left if you'd prefer.
Tomorrow, you get re-immersed into civilization.
