Although smaller in size than many commercial caverns, Linville Caverns offers a unique perspective of the intricate workings that have taken place under the ground surface. The cave is located at 19929 US 221 North in Marion, North Carolina. For more information, click here.
All tours are guided & last approximately 35-40 minutes in length…not too tiring for any visitor. Because of the confined space & some low hanging rocks tours are limited to no more then 15 at a time.
Generally, tours depart every 10-15 minutes during normal operating hours but will be spaced closer together during the peak season. On rare occasions there me be a bit of a wait before the next tour starts, but trust me its worth the wait.
Linville Caverns is a geological education experience, that is as much educational as it is exciting. The guides love explaining all the details of the caves creation and its formations.
Linville Caverns is a seasonal operation. During March – November they are open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, & Mondays. For pricing information, click here.
Linville Caverns is one of a few caverns that is partially wheelchair accessible. Please note that there is one step onto the covered porch where tours begin & there is a concrete ramp with approximately 30 degree slope down to the cave door. Once inside the caverns the concrete walkway is fairly smooth & level.
