Recently, 2008, renovated visitor center complex that is an example of the latest in visitor convenience coupled with modern technology. It is also the only entrance point to the caverns, whether walking down through the original entrance to the cave, or descending modern way on the high speed elevators.
At the Ranger desk just inside the doors you ask questions and stamp your National Parks Passport Book. To the right is where you obtain your tickets to enter the cavern and also for any Ranger led tours you want to go on.
To the left there is a store operated by the park's concessionair, as well as a restaurant. At the opposite end of the building are several bookstores.
Be aware that the times for entry into the caves does not correspond with the times the VC is open.
