I have lived in Wisconsin for over 20 years yet this was my first time going. My husband and I brought our 5 year old grandson. We all loved it. It was breathtakingly beautiful. We were told no food or drink unless it was water which was ok by us. It was comfortable in the cave and our guide Ben did a great job explaining even though he was a little under the weather. Thanks Ben for answering my questions. I took many beautiful pictures. Thanks Cave of the Mounds for a great first visit.
Beautiful place to explore! Kids absolutely loved it!
Loved it! Something for adults and kids---very knowledgeable staff, always ready to answer questions. I do a lot of caving (on my own & commercial caves) and I have to say, this was one of the more 'naturally lit' caves--not so overdone �. Definitely going back!!
