The Illuminations Tour takes place in two large cavern rooms with smaller more delicate and unusual formations. The Illuminations Tour also utilizes a new, state-of-the-art lighting system which uses both light and darkness to dramatically present the cavern to guests. Finally, the Illuminations Tour has a "Total Darkness" demonstration as part of the experience.
Q: It’s raining. Is Natural Bridge Caverns open?
