Underground UV cave tour
Watch ancient mysteries come alive in our glow-in-the-dark cave experience.
See our caves in a whole new light
Discover an underground kingdom filled with natural glow-in-the-dark rocks.
Stump Cross Caverns has a special superpower. When you shine UV light onto the cave walls, they bloom with a mysterious glow.
That's because Stump Cross is a calcite cave – and calcite is a phosphorescent crystal. In other words, it absorbs UV light and then casts it back out like an ancient natural lamp.
The effect is truly magical. As you shine your UV torch on the rocks, you'll see lustrous veins of calcite flash in the darkness and discover hidden details that are invisible to the naked eye.
Whether you're a photography enthusiast or a family of adventurers, you can expect an experience that's fun, educational and unforgettable.
