Beautiful area of the state. Awesome cave with much to see and learn. My 4 year old LOVED picking out and cracking her own geode. Wish we had the time to stay longer and check out the walking trails, gardens, etc
Second time I have been there. So beautiful! My family really enjoyed it. It's truley one of a kind
Well managed tour. Guides are super friendly and give us enough time and space for enjoyment. The caves had to offer much itself - the feeling of being underground, the million year old limestone deposits, low temperature & completed darkness.. Loved the experience!
My son who's seven was amazed at the whole experience! He loves rocks and fossils. He would love to come back!
