Gold miners first explored Moaning Caverns in the 1840’s and 1850’s. Today, visitors enter by descending a metal spiral staircase for cave tours and family adventure!

With so much to do, even your littlest adventurers and seasoned travelers will find a full day of fun at Moaning Caverns.

Our most popular family tour, the Spiral Tour is a guided, educational walking tour for families and beginning cavers. Descend to the bottom of the largest single cave chamber in California! The open area inside the chamber is, in fact, tall enough to hold the Statue of Liberty (pedestal excluded).
