Great place to visit for a city dweller like myself. The tour is an easy, low key stroll and the setting was beautiful. Not the most epic cave of all time but what can you expect from a cave found in sw Wisconsin? Go without preconceived notions and you will have a genuinely nice experience.
What a beautiful park! Loved the cave but not for the claustrophobic...some pretty narrow spots. Good tour guides and spectacular grounds. This is a must see if you're in the area.
Kept the kiddos eyes wide open the whole time. Great fun for fathers day!!!!
My children loved the tour and digging for their own gems. Defiantly will be back the drive from Iowa was worth coming here!
