Vážení návštevníci, dovoľujeme si Vás upozorniť, že vzhľadom na technicko–prevádzkové podmienky platobných terminálov, môžu nastať situácie kedy bezhotovostná platba prostredníctvom platobnej karty nebude možná. Z tohto dôvodu Vám odporúčame, aby ste disponovali primeranou výškou hotovosti, ak chcete mať istotu, že sa na prehliadku jaskyne dostanete. Ďakujeme za porozumenie.
Važení návštevníci,
vzhľadom k nepriaznivému stavu vody je okruh s plavbou v jaskyni Domica od 5.9.2024 mimo prevádzky . V prevádzke je len okruh bez plavby. Ďakujeme za pochopenie.
Vážení návštevníci,
po dlhšej prestávke znovu od 1.7.2024 otvárame dlhý okruh v Demänovskej jaskyni slobody. Okruh sa prevádzkuje raz za deň o 13:15 v mesiacoch jún až august (3 mesiace) a o 13:00 ostatné mesiace počas otvorenia jaskyne. Počet osôb je obmedzený, okruh je fyzicky náročný s mnohými schodmi a prehliadka trvá viac ako hodinu a pol. V jaskyni sa teplota pohybuje okolo 7°C počas celého roka. Tešíme sa na vašu návštevu.
Važení zberatelia,
dávame vám touto cestou do pozornosti informáciu o predaji bankoviek v hodnote 0 €. V súčasnosti sa suvenírové nulové bankovky predávajú na nižšie uvedených predajných miestach. Bližšie podmienky predaja bankoviek nájdete po kliknutí na odkaz s motívom bankovky:
Vážení návštevníci, vzhľadom k zvýšenej návštevnosti rodičov s veľmi malými deťmi (asi do cca 1 - 4 rokov) Vám odporúčame, aby ste pre prehliadky fyzicky náročnejších jaskýň mali k dispozícii ruksakové sedačky pre zvládnutie prehliadky v stanovenom čase. Týka sa to najmä nasledovných jaskýň: Demänovská jaskyňa slobody, Belianska jaskyňa, Dobšinská ľadová jaskyňa, Demänovská ľadová jaskyňa, Harmanecká jaskyňa. Výnimkou je Brestovská jaskyňa kde je možný vstup deťom len od 6 rokov, nakoľko je to dané obtiažnosťou prehliadkovej trasy jaskyne. Takisto prosíme, aby ste zvážili návštevu s deťmi, ktoré by svojim plačom mohli rušiť ostatných návštevníkom. Ďakujeme za porozumenie a prajeme príjemnú návštevu.
