Still owned by Steve. We had a wonderful visit (we detoured an hour and a half because Bat Boy was too amazing to pass up). Clean, beautiful, safe facility. The tour was self-guided and lasted about 45 minutes. The highlight of our trip was actually Steve, who chatted with us for half an hour about the cavern's history, his days in disaster response, Bat Boy, and weird West Virginia tourism (I was wearing my Mothman Museum shirt and we came from The Mystery Hole in Anstead). Will absolutely return.
The children's gift shop is mostly dinosaurs, and the museum features fossils of a few dino favorites. Not much by way of Bat Boy merch, but they had free Bat Boy stickers and posters available for purchase.
