[2] A show cave may be managed by a government or commercial organization and made accessible to the general public, usually for an entrance fee.
Unlike wild caves, they may possess regular opening hours, guided group tours, constructed trails and stairs, color artificial illumination and other lighting,[3] musical/video/laser shows and concerts, elevators, small trains, and boats if they contain underground water features.
Some caves (mainly in Asia) open to the public have temples, monasteries and religious statues or monuments.
In 1881, Sloupsko-Šošůvské Jeskyně, Czech Republic, became the first cave in the world with electric arc light.
[6] The first cave in the world with electric light bulbs as we know them today was the Kraushöhle in Austria in 1883.
