It’s over a mile of walking, if you can keep your kids close I’d say any age but like another reviewer said there is an area that has a drop off and there is no railing, when you come to that part just hold your kids close and stay toward the side and you’d be fine. They are quite amazing my boys loved them it was like the Goonies
Q:
How do you buy tickets? Just go during their open hours?
A:
Yep! Show up, they do tours every 20 minutes or so
Q:
Do they have a AAA discount or senior discount ?
A:
Can't recall, but it was very affordable, as I recall, and well worth the price! Priceless cavern experience!
