The center provides information about the area, including up to the moment cave tour information at the Oregon Caves National Monument & Preserve. Same day tickets for cave tours are available at the center. Afternoon wait times can be long in the summer. Buying tickets before driving to the park can save a lot of time and hassle. (Reservations can be bought up to one day in advance of the day of visit on Recreation.gov.)
