Lantern Tours
For ages 5 and up.
Experience Ruby Falls in a new light! Discover the wonder of the cavern like Leo Lambert in 1928. During this after-hours specialty tour, the cavern and falls are illuminated only with hand-held lanterns. Rock formations and shadows take on intriguing dimensions as elite guides share stories exclusive to this tour. You'll hear the sound of the thundering falls before you see it as a system of pulleys and lanterns light the waterfall to create a moment you'll always remember.
Lantern Tours are a unique way to explore the falls and cavern after hours with a fun, extended tour featuring a laid-back pace and limited-sized group.
Reservation Required - Tickets Sold Online Only.
Social distancing is not possible in the elevator to the cave or during Lantern Tours due to the narrow cavern trail.
