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

Small cave compared to others we've have visited. Friendly staff. We enjoyed our visit. It was the perfect spot to stretch our legs and have fun!
I've never been to a cave before yesterday, so I'm not quite sure how to rate this. However, I feel like it was time and money well spent. Easy to find, clean grounds, friendly service, and our guide had a good sense of humor, spoke clearly for everyone to hear and answered all questions that anyone in the group had. Definitely glad we randomly stopped in to check it out!
Great experience, wish we had more time to explore area around mounds/ cave.
Está precioso el lugar muy interesante todo .. alos niños les encanta las cuevas muy frías un lugar familiar actividades para niños ..la naturaleza la gente súper amable
It's amazing. Just so very wonderful. The experience is one of a kind. Simply loved it.
Absolutely beautiful and amazing HOWEVER the tour started out nice but then we found out that they also offer self guided tours. So halfway through the self guided tour caught up with our tour and there was SO many people we no longer could hear our tour guide.
