Review & FAQ:

Kartchner Caverns State Park has been a state treasure in Arizona since 1988 when efforts were made to preserve the explorability of these two massive living caverns. The Rotunda Throne Room features a bell canopy that forms when water flows over the bumpy wall before dripping to create the formation. The caverns house the biggest soda straw stalactite, Arizona’s tallest, most massive column, and multiple one-of-a-kind cave formations and features. The park also provides guests with loads of information at the Discovery Center with a theater presentation, a museum, and a gift shop. Kids love the scavenger hunt created for inquisitive explorers.
