America's only ride-through cave. The cave is toured in jeep-drawn trams. Since you ride all the way, you experience the magnitude, the stillness and the splendor of Fantastic Caverns while preserving its natural features. The unique tram follows the path of an ancient underground river. Enjoy the beauty of a natural cave without the long walks or steep climbs. The guided, all-riding tour is ideal for seniors, families with small children and physically challenged travelers. Group rates offered.
