Of course, people visit the cave for the spectacle, which can't really be captured on cameras or cell phones. I've never seen so many bats flying out of the cave. I think it's fair to say this was a unique experience. Note: You can sit at one of the ink booths, but you have to order something at the designated booth. And everyone has specific assignments here, so keep an eye on where you sit.
