    Virtual Reality Experience at the Visitor Center

    Designed specifically for visitors with mobility challenges, the Visitor Center's virtual reality (VR) experience allows everyone to experience Dunbar Cave.

    Our cave tours are not ADA accessible, but you can tour Dunbar Cave using VR headsets from the comfort of our wheelchair-friendly Visitor Center. The tour utilizes a 360-degree immersive film of our Enter the Underworld tour and focuses on the indigenous peoples' use of the cave, including the Mississippian artwork. Wheelchair accessible picnic tables are at the park and inside the Visitor Center there is a adult-sized changing table.
