Crystal Cave - School Field Trips

School Tours

It’s the greatest field trip since Ms Frizzle took the Schoolbus inside the earth! And it’s here for your group to experience! Students will learn about caves, cave geology, bats and so much more while our knowledgeable guides lead them through a maze of fascinating passageways 70 feet underground.

Your students will receive the following:

One hour guided tour of Crystal Cave by specially trained interpreters who will discuss the cave’s natural history at a level your students will appreciate.

Ten minute video which introduces students to the Cave.

Discount rates for groups of 15 or more with reservations.

Shaded picnic facilities and shelter at no charge.

The Lodge Gift Shoppe which offers a wide selection of items beginning at $0.59. Every child can afford to take home a souvenir and practice working with money at the same time.

Best of all, bad weather will not interfere with your tour!

“It’s All About Rocks!”

Are your students also studying rocks and minerals? Why not add gem panning to your day’s activities? An exciting, hands-on educational activity, gem panning gives each child an opportunity to sluice for real gemstones and minerals, identify his or her discoveries, and take home the start of a really great rock collection. Each participant receives a bag of ore mix, a mineral identification card, and a zip-loc bag to keep those treasures safe.

Our education programs are offered during spring ( beginning April 1) and fall
(ending October 31) of the school year.
