What could be more fun than an entire day spent exploring one of the coolest caves in Arizona? Grand Canyon Caverns is a 65-million-year-old cave that not only allows visitors to descend 200 feet into its deepest depths, but also has a restaurant where you can dine underground. A trip here is fun for the whole family.
Next time you find yourself on Historic Route 66 near the town of Peach Springs, keep an eye out for the friendly dinosaur statue on the side of the road.
This hidden, little-known subterranean oasis was formed over 65 million years ago, and visitors can descend 200 feet below the earth's surface to explore its deepest depths.

Choose between the classic tour, which showcases all of the cave's major highlights, two adventure tours that lead you into hidden areas most people don't get to see, and even a ghost tour on which all the lights are turned off!

During your time in the caverns, you can also enjoy one of the most unique dining experiences in Arizona: the Caverns Grotto.
