School Underground Classroom

Special school group packages are offered only the months of December thru February. The Package includes a special “hands on” class about cave exploring by using two caving simulators, our Cave Crawl Box & Cave Wall Climb. In the cave they will study cave hydrology, geology and archeology. A special surface tour is given to explain how caves are formed. They follow surface rain water into the caverns and do acid experiments on the limestone. The class experiences a special lantern lit tour of the caverns – this is the way the early explorers use to see the cave.
