Pro Spelunkers would be bored with this but the average Boy Scout or adventurous type might find this interesting. The portion of the cave open to the public is limited but if you feel adventurous try going over the barrier and crawling down into the cave. That's right you will have to crawl in areas and I reached an area that was about a foot high and that was my limit. Several Boy Scots that were following me decided to keep going and they crawled further into the cave. Somehow crawling into a dark space that was barely wider than me just did not seem appealing, so I guess I fail the spelunker test, oh well. Bring a flash light and expect to get very dirty. It is open only during daylight hours - there is a mesh cage in front of it. My biggest disappoint was the graphitti (no its not art despite what New Yorkers say) near the entrance, other than that crawl at your own risk, this is not for the faint of heart.
