The cave displays some of the largest underground rooms and spectacular formations in eastern America, featuring waterfalls, gleaming pools, and even a 3/4 ton chandelier! The historic 1812 saltpeter mine and "God of the Mountain", an original underground pageant of light and sound, is shown on every tour. Tours May 1 to October 31, 9am to 5pm. Special tours for schools, scouts, youth groups, and bus tours throughout the entire year by 14-day advanced reservations.
