Extended Winter Tour

Take the Extended Winter Tour! This tour includes highlights of the Natural Wonder Tour and ALL of the Historic Tour PLUS a section that is not toured during the summer season. This tour will last approximately one hour and thirty minutes.

The Extended Winter tour was originally opened in 1996 known as the Historic Tour to celebrate 100 years since the discovery of the caverns in 1897.

Extended Winter Tour guests receive a heavy dose of both historical and geological information. Guests descend 38 steps into the caverns, walk on a level concrete path, exit 44 steps for a short time where the caverns were first discovered, and eventually exit at the end of the tour up 60 steps at the south end of the park.

You’ll see the largest stalactite known as the Crystal King, along with many other unique formation like soda straws, helictites, flow stone and many more!

What Are People Saying About Us?

We toured the Caverns as part of a surprise trip with our grandson. We all loved it. The caverns are really interesting and the grounds are beautiful. Everything about it was just lovely. I'd go back again for sure. — Elaine
A nice place to cool off underground and see some unique geological features! Rare stalactites and knowledgeable tour guides make this a fun experience for the family. Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic, visit the gift shop and stop by some of the local businesses while you're there! — Randy
