Fees & Reservations

Reservations:

Reservations for cave tours are on a first come, first served basis. Early arrival is recommended and tickets may be purchased for any tour scheduled the day of your arrival .

Fees:

Please note that the Monument has no entrance fee, but there is a cave tour fee (expanded amenity). As such, the Interagency Annual Pass does not apply for cave tours. However, the Interagency Access and Senior passes get the cardholder half off a general cave tour. To enter the caves, the rates are as follows:

General Cave Tours
$8.50 Adults, ages 17 and over
$6.00 Juniors, ages 16 and under

• At times, Oregon Caves may experience technical difficulties with its phone system. On these days, we may not be able to accept credit cards. Please bring cash. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
