SCENIC CAVES NATURE ADVENTURES MANAGEMENT

The health and safety of our visitors, staff, and community will always be our first priority. Operations at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures will remain suspended as long as required by provincial health authorities and until Scenic Caves determines that it is safe to resume operations.

While much has changed in our communities, the natural landscape of Scenic Caves Nature Adventures remains as vibrant and beautiful as ever…and we look forward to the day, very soon, when you can experience it with a whole new perspective.

Here at Scenic Caves we are preparing for the day when we will reopen. We have been thoughtfully adjusting our operations, policies and processes so that we can welcome you back, safely, to our beautiful park. We continue to gain inspiration from the creative approach businesses, individuals, governments and organizations are developing and we are also finding our own unique ways to offer services and experiences. As we all continue, (for a little while longer), to stay in to stay safe please take a few moments to look at the line up of adventures that will be waiting for you when the time is right.

SCENIC CAVES NATURE ADVENTURES SUSPENDS OPERATIONS TO ASSIST IN REDUCING THE POTENTIAL SPREAD OF COVID-19

Beginning Monday March 16, 2020, Scenic Caves Nature Adventures will temporarily suspend operations until further notice. The property, including all cross-country and snowshoe trails, rentals, gift shop and food services will be closed.

This decision has been made after serious consideration of our duty to lessen the spread of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. In joining this proactive worldwide action, we believe this temporary closure is in the best interest of our guests, employees and community. We will continue to follow the Public Health Agency of Canada recommendations to safeguard the health and safety of our community.

Updates on operations will be communicated through the Scenic Caves Nature Adventures website, via Enews and through our social media accounts.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience but we feel the need to act now and do the right thing for our community.
