Commercially operated limestone cavern system — covers speleology, karst geology, cave formation, and mineralogy through guided tours.

What families say
Families rave about the sheer scale and beauty of the caverns—highlights like the underground lake, Hall of Giants, and the organ get repeat mentions—plus there's a nice lake and mountain views outside for a break. Plan on about 1.25 miles of walking (kids can do a self-guided pace with an educational brochure while staff are on hand to help), sturdy grippy shoes since paths can be slick, and a light jacket since it stays in the mid-50s and small children may get chilly. Reviewers note it's a bit pricey and benches are scarce along some stretches, so going early to beat crowds and pacing rest stops for younger or older family members is a good idea.
