Alabaster Caverns State Park in Freedom, Oklahoma, is home to the largest natural gypsum cave in the world open to the public. The caves are part of the 200-acre state park that offers daily guided tours of the caves.
The guided tour caves have lights and are led by trained professionals but the undeveloped caves have no lights, pathways, or guides. For only $8 per person, you can buy a permit to go exploring on your own.
You must have at least three people in your group including at least one adult ages 18 or older. You'll also be required to bring three independent light sources, along with a hard hat.
