Cumberland Caverns offers walking tours through its amazing crystalline formations, underground waterfalls, and the iconic Volcano Room.

The trek is moderate in difficulty and 1.5 hours in duration. The “Rocky Topper” tour is the least challenging of the adventure tours, suitable for ages 6+. Families try beginner spelunking; twisting, turning, and climbing through passages that run deep into the cavern.

The Legacy Tour is the most extreme of the tours, appropriate for kids ages 16+. Spelunking during this tour involves high climbs, ropes, ladders, and traversing handlines. Secret passages, immense cathedrals, Devils’ Quarry, The Monument Pillar, Blue Mud Mountain, Rock of Ages, and 20,000 year old Lynx bones are just a few of the breathtaking rewards of the journey.
