    Tours run on the top of the hour. Tickets can be reserved online or purchased at the office. Prices were $15 each and tours can be up to 20 people. We visited in Sep and bought tickets when we arrived and had no issues. Our group was 11 people. Our guide was Dan and he was great. Very knowledgeable and full of passion about preserving nature. The tour is scheduled for 60 min but ours went long because our group had so many questions. There is not a lot of walking in the cave. It is chilly so wear something warm. The formations were plentiful and beautiful. Paths were smooth and very accessible. Excellent stop.

    Upon entering the welcome building for the cave we were greeted nicely. The tour starts at the building with a walk to the entrance of the cave. It is a bit chilly inside the cave so bring layers. You can take photos while inside. The tour guide was fun and plenty loud for all to hear. I had only done one other cave tour before and it was very short. The end of this tour is worth it!

    I had so much fun! Our groups got to take a private hands on tour. It was so fun crawling, climbing, and walking threw the cave. We saw few small bats when we went. Our guide was amazing and did a great job telling us about the cave and history of it. I loved it so much I am definitely hoping to do it again next spring when they open back up!! They have a nice visitor center. They also have a small parking lot. Make sure you know where you're going before you get there. Cell phone reception is spotty and does not work the closer you get to this place.

    Cave is open from approximately May to October; check the website. Scenic tour is held every 20 minutes and lasts over an hour. We had a great guide! Three out-and-back walks within the tour. Unusual fallout shelter within the cave. Attractive pool at the end of the tour. We liked the hole eroded in the roof of one chamber, by water that had previously flooded into the chamber and then flooded out through the top of the chamber. They let us touch a piece of cave calcite that was previously broken off. Lot of dripping water, quite wet, but the steel-mesh walkways were not slippery. There are resident bats, so on the way out they ask you to wipe your feet on soapy mats. Wiping removes spores of the fungus that causes white nose disease to reduce transmission of that disease to other bats.

    Mike is the best tour guide! Seriously, the tour guide can make or break your experience. Having a great one can make a huge difference. You can tell he likes his job and is super knowledgeable. He shared a ton of fun facts that we didn't know. The temperature in the cave is perfect for touring during Minnesota's hot and humid summers. For sure coming back to check out the other tours. I should mention we did the scenic tour.

    A must see for ANY cave enthusiast! The main tour was an easy hike with lots to see! Reserve your tickets early and make some extra time to explore the visitors center.

    What a great day trip. You get to learn a lot about the caves and ask questions. The tour is about an hour long. It's also very well kept-up.

    Great day trip adventure! Before the tour: parking at the location is easy and close to the building, but you must pay to park. It is $5 to park there, or you can purchase a $35 year long parking pass that is valid at all MN state parks. The building where you purchase tickets for the cave tour is modern and has clean bathrooms and drinking water, as well as a small souvenir store. On the tour: the cave is a short walk from the main building. As soon as you enter the cave, you feel like you are in a whole other world. The park ranger that leads the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable. The cave has very cool lighting that accents it's grand and unique features. It is kept at 48 degrees Fahrenheit year round, so bring warm clothes even if you are touring in the summertime. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as you are on your feet the entire tour. The cave is really huge, and no two places are alike. I am not one for confined spaces, and I felt fine the entire tour. The cave tour is very informational but not at all boring, as you are constantly on the move and seeing new parts of the cave. I highly recommend touring Niagara Cave!

    Beautiful cave. Very knowledgeable guides. Only complaint is that at times the guides moved at a very fast pace.
