A:
No hiking required. Depending on amount of visitors you may walk a little distance from your car to the shop/cave entrance-along driveway. Constant 54 degrees inside cave. Light jacket, parka or sweatshirt would be sufficient. Water drips sporadically and we've had recent rains so more seepage likely. I had on flip flops, my feet got wet, it's very chilly inside the cave especially when water is dripping on you. The tour is about 30 minutes.
Q:
Can I bring a infant 14 months old in his stroller?
A:
I would think you’d have to carry him. It’s not that big. Probably about 20-30 minutes. They do turn all the lights off for a few minutes.
Q:
Can I bring a infant 14 month old in his stroller?
A:
I don't think so, there's not much room. It's also very wet and cool. If it was me I wouldn't take the baby down there.
