Fees & Passes

Entrance to the park is free but there is a fee for a cave tour.

** The 2021 cave tour season has closed due to the increase in the spread of COVID-19. It is for the safety of our staff and visitors. **

Tours are available daily on a first come, first serve basis. Reservations are also available and must be booked at least 24 hours in advance online at Recreation.gov. Same day tour tickets are available at the park and at the Illinois Valley Visitor Center in Cave Junction.

We recommend stopping at the Illinois Valley Visitor Center first for up to the minute information and to buy same day cave tour tickets. Buying in Cave Junction will save you time. Wait times can be long during the summer and tours occasionally sellout early.
