This program is designed for groups, and individuals, who want to both tour the cave and have a “taste” of caving without the dangers that come from climbing over large rocks or walking through streams. Participants see all the lighted cave and, along the way, do the “maze crawl,” enter the large unlit room called: “the Stomach,” and walk/crawl through the unlit, sandy-floored passages of the Dining Room, Cale’s Canyon, and Lisa Hall.  

Participants must have the physical ability to hike seventeen stories down into the mountain through both lit and unlit passages. Participants must wear firmly-fitting shoes with a good tread, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt, or old sweater suitable for a cave temperature of 52oF. Laurel Caverns supplies light and hard hat.  

This learning activity is available, every day, even holidays, for walk-ins without reservations, between April 22nd and the last Sunday in October at 10:30 am and 1:00 pm. This program is also available seven days a week for groups of fifteen, or more, requiring a private guide or different program time. Such groups must call: 724-438-3003, to make arrangements.
