Safety Measures LRC is Taking

  • All visitors are required to wear a mask or face covering on the Cave Boat Tour and in the Gift Shop and restrooms. Visitors may bring their own mask or purchase one when you arrive for $2.00.
  • Reduction of Cave Boat Tour capacity. The number of guests allowed on tour has been reduced to increase spacing, however, the Cave Boat Tour by its nature requires closer quarters during the boat portion of the tour.
  • Regular sanitation of surfaces in the Gift Shop and restrooms. 
  • All staff will wear PPE while working with guests.  
  • All staff will begin their day with temperature checks. 
  • Reminders and enforcement of social distancing practices and CDC Guidelines for all operations of the Park.  
  • Provide hand sanitizer in the Gift Shop and encourage everyone to wash their hands when using our restroom facilities. 
  • Encourage safe social distancing practices at the cash registers with acrylic shields and “markers” on the floor spaced 6 feet apart.
