How you can help protect the cave?
• Remember, Inner Space Cavern is a LIVING
cave. Touching formations or getting off trail will
cause irreparable damage.
• Keep the cave as clean as possible. Do not
bring food, candy, gum, drinks, water bottles,
backpacks, or strollers into the cave.
• Stay with the group and listen to the guide.
The tour is 1 ¼ hours long and several tours are in the
cave at the same time.
Enjoy your adventure into
