Crystal Cave
Discover a unique hour-long tour that will ignite your imagination. Knowledgeable guides will lead you through passages filled with glistening cave formations. Stalactites, stalagmites and rippling flowstone can be seen hanging from the ceiling or covering the ledges.

The cave is accessed by a series of steps and ramps that allow you to descend over 70 feet underground where your journey follows well-lit, graveled trails. The cave temperature hovers near 50 degrees. A sweatshirt is recommended. Caves are naturally humid and will occasionally become slightly muddy on the floor.
Please dress accordingly.

Your adventure at Crystal Cave won't be entirely underground. A self-guided nature trail, The Lodge Gift Shop offering wide variety of items and apparel, and a hands-on gem panning experience are all waiting your discovery.
For your safety and the safety of other cave visitors, no carried items are allowed on the tours. This includes, but is not limited to, purses, totes, camera bags, diaper bags, etc. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
CAMERAS MAY BE TAKEN INTO THE CAVE.
