Cave Sim Day

Mobile Cave: Visitors explore multiple cave levels using rope ladders and climbing holds. The cave is interactive – participants get scored by a computer based on how carefully they explore.

Caving Tower: This free-standing tower is used to teach visitors about physics, vertical cave exploration, and rescue.
Cave rescue Stretcher: We bring a real cave rescue stretcher, and kids of all ages take turns being carried by staff and other visitors. This is a hands-on way for visitors to learn about cave rescue, teamwork, and communication.

Squeezebox: This adjustable-height box is a fun way for visitors to challenge themselves. As the height gets adjusted, visitors measure the box with a tape measure to see how tight a spot they can fit through. For safety, the lid is easily lifted.

Rescue phones: Our working cave rescue phones are a fun way to learn about circuits, waves, and electromagnetic energy. Visitors can try the phones before or after exploring the cave. Incredible demos: We do many demos, including carbide lamps, geology, energy and waves with waterproof speakers, and biology lessons with a real bat skeleton and guano.
