About this business
The Cave of the Mounds is one of the most significant caves in the Midwest of the United States.

RecommendedBeautiful cave. Ron gave a great, informative tour. Everyone was very friendly. Need to improve bathroom access just before tour.
Very unique experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Very fun tour and highly recommended stop.
The cave was awesome. My 4 yr old grandson was thrilled. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the cave. We will be going back on a cooler day to see all the above ground things to do.
It was my second time in the cave and I highly recommend to you to go and visit the beauty of the cave that was formed over the years and years . It worth the time and money. I would definitely would go back again!
While traveling for work I wanted a bit of an adventure so after some quick research, I decided to stop in for a cave tour. I was astounded at the beauty of the cave system. The tour guide was kind, patient, and knowledgeable (although I was traveling alone, I viewed the cave with a group of young children on a field trip). It takes a special kind of person to get children excited about geology while keeping several adults engaged, and this gentleman did just that. This was a wonderful experience and I'll absolutely be back.... read more
Beautiful! So exciting to see! I wish the tour had been longer! We all enjoyed the experience very much. The hiking trails were closed because of so much rain, but the staff was very friendly and the cave was spectacular!
