Typical summer wait will be 30 minutes or less. Wait times may increase on holidays or peak summer weekends. Off season tours can be an hour apart. We always put you on the very next available tour, no waiting for tours on a set schedule. We have a variety of things that you can enjoy if a wait is necessary.

Tours leave frequently throughout the day. You must arrive no later than 4:30 pm EDT to be guaranteed a spot on the last tour of the day. There are also other activities to enjoy at Indiana Caverns.

Visit our tour pages for tour distance, boat ride time, depth, and other tour related information.

Individuals may buy up to 11 tickets online. Show your receipt at the counter to receive your actual tickets and tour time.

The cave is 56 degrees year round-like a pleasant spring or fall afternoon. You may appreciate a jacket or long sleeves during the underground boat ride. Good walking shoes are recommended. However, most anything without high heels should be fine. Thong sandals and flip flops are not suitable.

There is a great selection of shopping and dining options, wineries, hotels, cabins, and bed & breakfasts all within 10 minutes of the cavern. Check out nearby attractions.

Pets are not allowed in the cave, for their protection and the protection of the cave’s delicate environment.
