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

This was our first cave adventure. It was definitely worth the money. You get a historic explanation of how and when the cave was formed. The cave looks phenomenal.
Really neat rock formations-a nice outing with the family. Only negative is I felt a bit rushed thru the caves.
We really loved Gavo. He was so FUNNY and dealt with annoying people and their questions well.
We took our almost 8 year old grandson yesterday. The hour + ride to get there was long to him, but 30 seconds into the tour, he said, "It was so worth it!". We all enjoyed the tour very much and everyone we dealt with there was very nice! The grounds are quite lovely and fun for exploring!
Very informative, reasonably priced. There was self guided learning exhibits that were hands on.
A true must see in Wisconsin, this and another cave in western Wisconsin are both marvellous. This Blue Mounds Cave was actually a man made cave, so they made the opening by blasting rock for another project. You will see amazing features under ground. I won't mention them so people are curious and go and visit.
