The cave was amazing, very long and big. You need to take a flashlight to fully enjo. The light on our phones were just not enough. Hearing about how they formed was very interesting and to think the lava flow was so thick is just hard to comprehend.

Great easy hike thru a cave that highlights volcanic history. It's free to visit- Bring good flash lights and good shoes. It's just a short hike but very rough footing.

is is a very unique attraction. The cave has no lighting, so be sure to bring a flashlight. You can either walk to the end and return the same way, or continue through to the exit and make your way back to the parking lot.

Very interesting and unique experience. It’s part of the park. Plenty of parking. The hike itself over to the cave entrance is short, the hike in the caves is not far and the walk out the cave to the parking lot is a bit longer than the first walk in but not long at all. Was there for about 30 minutes total. Pretty cool to walk down and see it get dark. We only had our phones flashlights and it was fine. We walked at a normal pace and it didn’t take us long at all. A def stop if you are on the north side of the park.

A nice short adventure, there are bathrooms but no water resources. There are stairs leading to and from the cave itself so there is no option for handicap access. The cave goes straight through, it is slightly chilly inside the cave for anyone bringing small children. The ground inside is very uneven so watch your step. There are plaques through out to tell you about how it was formed. IMPORTANT: it is best to bring multiple flash lights one per person or a spot light which is what we used. Once you are inside it is pitch black! With the ground being uneven the more light you have the better.
