About Grand Canyon Caverns
The Grand Canyon Caverns are a fascinating underground world waiting to be discovered by your family! Nestled on the historic Route 66, these caverns are the largest dry caverns in the United States, offering a unique adventure 200 to 300 feet below the earth's surface. It's a perfect blend of education, excitement, and natural beauty, nestled in the heart of 3 million acres of unspoilt wilderness.
Families can choose from four different tours, each offering a unique experience tailored to your time and preferences. The Regular Tour is a great start for those with limited time or mobility, as it includes an elevator ride down 21 stories to the Chapel of the Ages cavern. Here, you can immerse yourself in the history of the caverns and admire the stunning natural formations.

For those with a thirst for adventure, the Explorers Tour takes you deeper into the caverns over 2 to 2.5 hours, offering a thrilling journey through the lower reaches of the caverns. In 2016, spelunking tours were also introduced for those looking for a more hands-on caving experience.
Above ground, the fun continues with a 9-hole Frisbee golf course, and opportunities to arrange trips to the picturesque Supai waterfalls, as well as horse-riding and rafting adventures. It's a day filled with diverse activities for the whole family!
