Open rain or shine!

Rain makes the cave even more beautiful! Our cave tours are still open even with the rain. Our staff can modify your group’s schedule of outdoor activities in the event of rain.

Give us a call!

For groups of 12 or more, we prefer you to give us a call two weeks or more in advance, so we can adequately accommodate you for the best experience.

On Average

80 minutes

Time times may vary from 75-90 minutes depending on the size of the tour, walking ability and even the questions asked. Visit our tour pages for tour distance, boat ride time, depth, and other tour-related information.

If You wish!

56 Degrees 

The cave is 56 degrees year round-like a pleasant spring or fall afternoon. You may appreciate a jacket or long sleeves during the underground boat ride. Good walking shoes are recommended. However, most anything without high heels should be fine. Thong sandals and flip flops are not suitable.

We try to accommodate most!

People Of All Ages Are Able To Enjoy The Cave Tour. 

Although Indiana Caverns is not wheelchair accessible, almost anyone who can walk unassisted and do stairs at home should be able to enjoy the tour.

Elevation Details

There are 110 feet of elevation change in Indiana Caverns. Visitors must be able to walk up ramps and several sections of stairs to get to the boat ride portion of the tour. There are handrails throughout. After the boat ride, it's back up the way you came via several sections of stairs and a ramp.

Small Children or Infants

We have children of all ages do the tour. They must be carried in a front carrier for the cave tour if they cannot yet walk. Strollers, back carriers, and large diaper bags are not allowed; remember, there is no place to change the baby once in the cave.

Please enjoy your drinks and snacks before the tour—no food, drink, or snacks allowed in the cave.

Not sure? Call!

That depends...

On the ages of those in the group of course! 

Our cave tour is often combined with Gemstone Mining for school-age groups, while teens and adults enjoy combining the tour and the Bat Chaser. Don't forget to ask about our Escape Rooms for the 12+ age group!

the more the merrier!

In general 100-200 is maximum at one time. 

However, larger groups can be split up to stagger through in different time periods. We offer other outdoor activities that can be done while the other part of the group waits for the cave tour.

Give us a call and we can discuss the details. We strive to provide the best experience possible for our guests. 

We sure do!

Our shelter house can seat up to 80 at one time. 

We also have picnic tables scattered around the shelter house and we have a large fire ring for group gatherings.
