They normally take around 20-24 people but we were fortunate that there were only 11 plus the guide on ours - in 1 of the 3 rooms it would have been very tight with 20+ people! Some attempts at slightly cheesy humour but the guy was friendly, knowledgeable and clearly interested in the caverns, the geology and serving the people on the tour.

There are a number of picnic benches in shady spots either side of the car park. There are some sweets/candy available in the gift shop but no cafe. It worked well for us as we bought tickets just as another tour was starting but we chose to eat our packed lunch first.

We had read about it on a great blog focused on things to do in the Sacramento area and you could tie this up with a visit to the nearby Grinding Rock State Park. We visited as part of our holiday in California.
