This adventure was the best idea, something different, and it did not disappoint. I just happened to find this before coming into town by a google search of things to do and decided to give it a try for something different.
I registered, purchased tickets, and signed wavers all online and via digital delivery. It was so easy. I pulled up and drove around and found the location. There was not anyone else really around and even though there were signs I didn't know what to do. I think those main tour doors needed to be construction orange or green with a big clear enter sign.
After going to the a side Cavern Entrance and finding a worker (guessing the warehouse side or construction entrance), I asked for better direction. I went around and went in the right doors and down this creepy hall, all adding to the experience. I walk into this massive room and there was the tram, some construction equipment, a town façade and waiting area. I made my way over and when walking into the underground welcome center was warmly greeting by seven or so staff. There was a gift shop, snack area, very nice restrooms, and an open indoor ropes course to the side.
My tour was the first of the day of a Thursday so that was probably why there was no crowd to follow but it added to the adventure for me! The price was $21.94 and the tour lasted a little over an hour. It was awesome to see the inside and understanding the history and purpose of the cavern and it's evolution. There is also storage and other functions of the cavern, as well as, underground zip lining, hiking and other activities and to choose from but the tram ride was perfect, especially given the shoes I brought.
Shout out my tour guide Skeeter! He was the best! Ask for him! Great guide, extremely funny, and delivering an up beat, educational tour with a side of humor.
I won't give away all the history and stories so there will not be any real spoilers from the tour but I will say this was a great experience and so glad a booked the tram tour. It was definitely something different and fun to do.
