Visitors can explore an egg-citing trail deep underground and experience a one-of-a-kind egg hunt in Gough's Cave, where giant eggs glow and dinosaurs and ancient creatures light up the darkness in a dazzling display.
Explorers of all ages will follow a magical trail deep below ground, hunting for clues to uncover the Giant Golden Egg. Along the way, little adventurers will crack a secret code to help them find the Golden Egg, while older kids and adults discover fascinating facts about the illuminated ancient creatures that roamed the Earth.
Everyone who "unscrambles" the mystery will be rewarded with an Easter treat! And the fun doesn't stop there—kids can get crafty with Easter-themed arts and crafts.
The Illuminated Cave is included in the price of a day ticket, which gives access to six exciting attractions.
Dogs are welcome too!
