Much of the access to the Caverns depends on the level of mobility for members of your party. The tours are an all walking tour down 180 feet and back up. While they do not restrict guest access on the cavern tours, they do not advise the use of devices (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc.) due to the restrictive bends of the natural cavern passages, and the strenuous nature of the actual tour. Please be aware that you may need to carry both the person and their equipment through sections of the tour.
Thw Visitors' Center, Discovery Village Mining Company, Maze, and Butterfly Gardens and viewing areas are all accessible for guests with mobility restrictions.
