A:
The front two-thirds of the cave are handicapped accessible with no stairs and wide, relatively flat walkways. There is 1 section of the cave with over 30 steep steps, but there is a sitting bench right by the staircase. There is one other area with about 8 steps, across 3 different areas. This area of the cave is wet with more narrow pathways. They are still quite navigable by most people and even those with walkers.
Q:

I think you’re asking how hard the tour is right? It’s actually pretty easy. I had my four young children with me and even my 2-year old was able to get around without issue.
