Tour description:
Our most family friendly caving experience, come and explore roomy but wild Dynamite Cave. This cave features an easy climb down to a stoop-walk in entrance that is suitable for people of all skill levels. No crawling necessary (unless you want to!) See ancient stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones while learning about the ecosystem of a Texas cave by experiencing it first hand. You catch glimpses of daylight from almost everywhere in the cave (However, you will need to bring a flashlight). This trip is a great way to get used to the idea of being underground! All you need is a flashlight and closed-toe shoes. A helmet will be provided!
