RecommendedWe had such a good time learning and exploring. Our tour guide was also good with interacting with our 3 year old, keeping it fun the entire tour! Check it out.
The tour guides were wonderful! They showed us how amazing the cave was and allowed us to experience total darkness. There are so many breathtaking views, there is no way a simple picture can capture the beauty. You must experience this beautiful cave!
amazing tour amazing staff. friendly
Interesting and educational tour lasting about an hour, Abe did a wonderful job guiding us and answering questions. Possibly not as mobility friendly as the website suggests, there are a significant number of stairs if you are an individual with knee issues. Children who are afraid of the dark should know there is a very brief period of total darkness.
this is a must see Wisconsin treasure
A wonderful time with plenty to see in the cave. The staff are excellent and informative!
great for a family outing.
