I have never visited Laurel Caverns, but a quick look at its advertising web-site shows it to have large passages, so by experience of caves generally, yes it is airy. The air in it may seem still, but is probably moving very gently.

Most caves have their own, natural ventilation - as well as keeping the air in show-caves fresh, draughts are used by cavers as hints that further passages lie beyond the source of the draught.

Sufferers from hay-fever may find relief during their time visiting a cave, depending on how the cave ventilates itself, the cooler, humid air may hold little pollen. I've known it work for me.

I was interested to see the cave is closed from November to April inclusive to protect the bats hibernating in it. Once out of hibernation the animals depart, probably to other, slightly warmer, caves more suitable as roosts and nurseries. This is characteristic bat behaviour through the seasons.

So visit Laurel Caverns and enjoy it!
