The mystery of caves and the features of Kartchner Caverns are highlighted
in this unusual exhibit design. Level changes, dramatic lighting, walk-through
dioramas of cave formations, and a bridge over a "wet" cave
floor pull the visitor into the subject material. A multi-image theater
presentation, interactive exhibits, and hands-on children's exhibits give
all visitors a meaningful experience prior to visiting the actual caverns.
