Stump Cross Caverns near Pateley Bridge has set a new fundraising target as it prepares to re-open on May 17.
Lisa Bowerman and Nicholas Markham, who own the limestone caves, set an original crowdfunding target of £50,000.
But this has been raised to £65,000 after the public rallied to save the attraction, which has been open to visitors since 1863.
The total currently stands at almost £61,000.
The extra money will enable the site's 3D virtual tour to be upgraded, which the couple hope will engage schools and improve inclusivity:
