RecommendedBeautiful formations and wonderful guide.
Amazing journey learn age of rocks can make beautiful jewel stones.
Incredible experience overall!
80 years ago they found this cave, just a drop of water in it's existence. to be a speck in the long life of the cave is surreal.
Informative and beautiful. I took my family here recently. My husband and kids had never been to see it before and I hadn’t been back since grade school. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed listening to the information about geodes and sifting through bags of sediment to find fossils and precious stones. Make sure to bring along pants and a jacket, it gets pretty chilly down in the cave.
Must see to believe....Love it
It's a very unique place!
it was really cool to see all the stalactites and stalagmites and the rock formations.
