Guided Tours
 

Alley Mill: You can visit the historic Alley Mill anytime, the grounds are always open. The building itself is open everyday during the summer months. Tours by request. Demonstrations of the milling equipment take place daily at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Free.

Campfire Programs: Rangers present slide shows on a variety of fascinating subjects involving the nature and history of the Ozarks. They are held each Friday and Saturday (from Memorial Day through Labor Day only) at 8:30 pm in the amphitheaters at Alley Spring, Big Spring, Pulltite and Round Spring campgrounds. Free.

Round Spring Cave: Let park rangers take you on an adventure to the wonders below your feet! Cave tours are held daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Tickets are $5.00 for adults, $2.00 for children under 12, and go on sale 30 minutes before each tour. Schools should call 573-858-3297, ext 23 to arrange educational tours. PLEASE do not bring any clothing, equipment, lights or anything else that has ever been in another cave into Round Spring Cave. This is to help control the spread of White Nose Syndrome, a fatal disease of bats.

Junior Ranger Program: ask a ranger or campground host for a free Junior Ranger book. Complete the self-paced activities and turn it in at a Campfire Program, the Alley Mill, Big Spring or Round Spring Cave and get the Official Junior Ranger badge you've earned!

Other activities: Special hikes, concerts and craft demonstrations are scheduled from time to time during the summer months. Watch this space, and check bulletin boards when you arrive for the latest offerings!
