The Tour of Colossal Cave

Tours are given daily, year-round. They are not pre-scheduled, but you'll never wait longer than 30 minutes after you purchase your ticket. You need no special clothing in the Cave, which is always70 degrees and dry. You are welcome to take pictures inside - you'll want to use high-speed film and a flash unit for cameras, or a candlelight setting for videocams

Candlelight Tours
 See the wonders of Colossal Cave in a new light -CANDLELIGHT. A treat for groups of up to twenty (age 10 and older), a candlelight tour is the only way to see the Cave in its "original" beauty. After hours, we glow the Cave with candles, and give each participant a candle to carry, as well. Plan to spend an hour to an hour and a half in the Cave.

The Ladder Tour
See areas of Colossal Cave not open to the public since the1950s. Your small guided tour (7-12 people) will visit an exquisitely beautiful, only partially improved area of Colossal Cave. Participants will be provided hard hats and lights and must be ready to climb and clamber.Your evening will consist of an hour and a half tour of the Side Routes of Colossal Cave, a rib dinner, and, when weather permits, a bonfire on the ramada.

Group Tours & School Tours
We offer group and school tours at reduced rates for those who can make reservations in advance for parties of twenty or more. Exactly the same as a regular guided tour, one is given for your group only.

Cowboy Cookouts
Beef, beans, and bonfires! Our La Posta Quemada Ranch facility offers lunch or dinner cookouts by reservation for groups of twenty or more. Hang" your boss or your spouse on ourgallows. Limber up your lariat (or borrow one of ours) and practice your roping  skills on our unique Rolleroper. Try a game of horseshoes—with real, used horseshoes. Let us make your visit complete with western music, a trail ride, a hayride, a stagecoach ride, or a special Cave tour.
