“Best overnight our troop has done.”
We’ve done a lot of campouts, but this was something totally different. The cave experience was incredible, and the boys are still talking about it weeks later. It was the perfect mix of structured activity and freedom to explore.
— Scoutmaster, Scouts BSA Troop

Scout Testimonials

Scout Group FAQ
Can we book outside of regular hours?
How large does my group need to be for an overnight?
In order to book an overnight, you must book at least 20 people. If your group is smaller than 20, you'll need to pay for 20 in order to book out the cave for your group at night.
How large does my group need to be for a daytime adventure?

How long does the cave tour last?
Your guided caverns tour lasts nearly one hour.
What should I wear inside Majestic Caverns?
The temperature inside the cave is 60°F year-round. In the summer, it will be refreshingly cool, and in the winter it will be a comfortable warmer temperature. Because the entrance to our cave is a steep ramped tunnel we recommend wearing shoes with traction on the bottom, although there is a handrail for steadying yourself if your shoes are smooth on bottom.
Is Parking Free?
Yes, all parking is free!
Are strollers or baby back-packs allowed inside the cave?
Yes, they are. Our cave has a tunnel, making it accessible for you and your young ones.
What should I NOT bring to the park?
The following items are prohibited:
- Alcohol or drugs
- Magic Markers, spray paint, and aerosol cans
- Knives or chains
- Weapons
- Chemical weapons, including mace or pepper spray
- Fireworks
- Cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco. Majestic Caverns is a tobacco free environment
- Bicycles and similar items are not allowed inside the park for the safety of all of our guests
- Flyers or handouts
- Majestic Caverns reserves the right to prohibit anything that management decides may pose safety concerns for guests or the environment of our historical live Caverns.
What is NOT allowed inside the Caverns?
The following items are prohibited:
- Outside food or drink are not allowed inside of the caverns (these items often have acidic or carbonated properties which erode the live formations inside our Caverns)
- Cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco. Majestic Caverns is a tobacco free environment
- Chewing gum
- Majestic Caverns reserves the right to prohibit additional items that may pose safety concerns for either the live Caverns or other guests. If you have an unlisted item you would like to bring into the cave that is not listed as approved, please contact us to request approval in advance and recognize that if approval is not given, the item may not be allowed into the caverns.
Is Majestic Caverns handicap accessible?
We are handicap accessible throught the Healing All Cathedral Room, which is the first room within our caverns and is accessible through a ramp. There is a passageway that narrows as our guests go towards our back room that would require someone to be able to walk through the back area while their wheelchair is folded in order to navigate through that narrow passageway. If the handicap guest is capable of walking a short distance that is supplied with a railing while the wheelchair is folded and brought through, our handicap guests will be able to see the entirety of the tour. If our guest is not capable of entering in the back of the cave, we have discount tours that still allow the guest to enjoy the Healing All Cathedral room within the caverns. Due to the natural environment of the cave, some areas had to be steeply ramped and will require an additional helper to navigate. Warning: For cave visitors in a wheelchair, it is required that you bring a capable assistant to help you with navigating the steep portions of the cave.
Are pets allowed at Majestic Caverns?
Yes, pets are allowed in the park as long as they remain on a leash. Inside the cave we only allow pets if you are capable of holding them throughout the tour. People who bring their pets are responsible for cleaning up their pet's waste. People with pets also will be held responsible for any damage their pet creates. Because of the indoor-outdoors nature of a cave, we cannot have any animals using the restroom inside the caverns, so they must be small enough to be held through the entirety of the tour.
Is there food on the premises?
Yes, we are proud to serve a variety of delicious and hormone free foods at our <a href="cave-cafe">Cave Cafe</a> in the gift shop. Be sure to try our award winning home-made fudge!
Does it rain inside the cave?
It does not rain inside the cave. Although, because this cave is still growing you may experience getting dripped on occasionally. We like to call these occasional drips "cave kisses.
Is there camping nearby?
Yes, we have a campground on the property.
Is Majestic Caverns a state or national park?
No, we are a privately owned park that has stayed in the same family for over 100 years.
Are outside sound systems allowed?
Please note that outside music systems are prohibited to maintain a peaceful atmosphere for all guests. Thank you for your cooperation.
How large does my group need to be for an overnight?
In order to book an overnight, you must book at least 20 people. If your group is smaller than 20, you’ll need to pay for 20 in order to book out the cave for your group at night.
What should I wear in the cave when staying overnight?
If you’re taking a cave tour, wear comfortable clothing suitable for 60-degree temperatures, keeping in mind you’ll be moving around. However, for an overnight stay, it’s likely cooler than what you’re used to at home. We recommend wearing warm layers and bringing a cozy blanket to stay comfortable while you sleep. Even if the cave feels fine during the tour, you’ll want extra warmth for the night when you’re less active.
What should I bring to spend the night in the cave?
- A backpack or duffel bag packed with all of your gear. Helpful Hint: You will carry your gear .2 miles from the parking area to the cave, so pack what you can carry that distance.
- A sturdy flashlight with charged batteries
- A small pack to carry a water bottle
- Toothpaste and toothbrush
- Change of clothes, socks, and a jacket
- Towel (we have a few indoor showers located at our Coosa Pavilion)
- Pillow
- Plastic bag for dirty clothes. If you are planning on doing attractions, plan for having fun and possibly sweating a little, so bring a bag for dirty clothes.
- Sleeping bag, ground cloth (tarp, plastic) if spending the night.
- Helpful Hint: If you are staying overnight, remember our Caverns is 60 degrees year round, so bring pajamas that would be most comfortable for you in that temperature
- Helpful Hint: We do have electricity in the cave, so if you want to bring an air mattress and pump, there are ways to pump the mattress up.
Are there items we should not bring?
- Yes, to protect the cave and abide by the laws of the state of Alabama, a few items are not allowed in the cave. The following is a list of items that are not allowed during your stay in Majestic Caverns.
- Food or drinks (water is allowed, but carbonated drinks and other pollutants, if spilled, damage the formations of the natural Caverns. These spills require intensive cleaning measures using ecologically approved cleaners that will not harm the caverns. Also certain foods may draw animals that do not have a natural environment within caverns and could negatively affect the ecology. So, in the best interest of preserving this natural environment we do not allow these items.)
- Cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco. Majestic Caverns is a tobacco free environment and such items would leave a harmful residue or pollutant on the environment.
- Chewing gum : this is another harmful pollutant to the caverns environment when not disposed of properly.
- Alcohol or drugs
- Pets (Although we love our pets, our caverns can only welcome pets for as long as they can be held. During overnight stays they cannot be held throughout the entirety and their urine contains harmful acids for the caverns environment. So, in the best interest of preserving the natural habitat and protecting the caverns, we must prohibit pets from being brought into the cave for an overnight stay)
- Laser pointers
- Video games
- Weapons or fireworks (these items are prohibited by law as the use of them would damage the caverns and be considered a federal offense under the The Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988)
- Helpful Hint: If you medically must have certain foods, please call our office for details and we will give you instructions on how to bring your needed items while being given resources on how to properly contain and dispose of the items.
Will there be electricity?
If you need to charge your phone or plug in an air mattress, we do have an extension cord available with a three-prong plug.
How far will I need to carry my gear from my car to the caverns?
We allow you to drive your cars into the campground area to unload your gear which is closer than our main parking and is only a few hundred feet from the entrance of the caverns.
