Candlelight Tour

The candlelight tour is by far the most romantic tour offered. Electric lighting, installed in 1930s, has eased passage through the cave for thousands of visitors. However, this tour reveals that sometimes more can be seen by the dim glow of candles as the shadows dance across walls in the flickering lights. Travel through time to revisit early cave explorations that relied on torches, candles, and carbide lamps.

The maximum number of participants allow on the tour is 12 and the tour is 45 minutes long. If you know you want to go on the candlelight tour, you can buy tickets at the Monument for anytime on the same day you plan on taking the tour. Spots can fill up quickly and only one candlelight tour is offered Fridays and Saturdays during the summer season at 6:30pm.
