Ticket & Arrival Tips
Do I need to buy tickets in advance?
Advanced tickets can be purchased online but are not required, and do sell out quickly!
Can I buy tickets on-site?
Yes, "walk-in" tickets are available daily for purchase at the ticket counter in the Visitors Center.
Important Weekend & Holiday Tip:
We highly recommend arriving by noon on weekends and holidays to purchase walk-in tickets. Arriving later in the day increases your risk of long wait times, and logistically, you may not have enough time to experience both tours.
Off-Road Mountain Tours
Only from June to November
The Experience:
A fully guided, 1.5-hour off-road adventure in a Penn’s Cave jeep. Climb from the "cave rock to the mountain top" across 1,400 acres of rugged terrain and spectacular vistas!
