“The girls learned a lot about caving experiences that they couldn’t get from a book. This was an awesome program. I would definitely do it again.”

Private Overnights

Groups of 45 to 120 that find our scheduled overnights inconvenient can arrange a private overnight in the Museum of Natural History and Science. Call (513) 287-7021 for information and to start the reservation process. Having several alternate dates in mind will increase the probability that we can host your group. The fees are per person and are the same as for public overnights, $28 per person. A $250 deposit is required to make a reservation and hold the date, with the full balance due 2 weeks before the overnight.
