Tours offer available space for a limited number of visitors. Cave tours can sell out at any time depending on visitation. 2. All cave visitors will walk across a decontamination mat when exiting the cave to prevent the spread of White Nose Syndrome (WNS), which is a bat disease. Jewel Cave has been identified as a WNS-positive site. For this reason, visitors are advised that other cave sites may not allow them to enter another cave with any item that has been inside Jewel Cave. Furthermore, footwear, clothing, or gear worn in Jewel Cave will NOT be allowed on the Candlelight and Wild Cave Tours at nearby Wind Cave National Park.
