Imagine finding an incredible underground cave in your backyard? Cave of the Mounds is a National landmark, and a must see. Nature at her finest.
Loved the event, disappointed the food was gone when we arrived. The caves were incredible but crowded because we arrived last. I would recommended showing up before the event starts so that you can take your time and not have to worry about getting stuck behind someone who was taking a picture at every turn.
I've been in caves all over the USA and this one will simply stun you, Cave of the Mounds has formations not found any place else in the states, but that are found in European Caves...come and learn, you'll be greeted with a smile, and very knowledgeable staff will make this tour worth your time.
We picked up a flier about Cave of the Mounds from a gas station on our way to Madison. Our family decided to take the afternoon and give this place a try. My 6 and 4 year old girls loved the gift shop and gem dig site. My 6 year old loved the tour. There is a very narrow section that I could barely fit through with my Ergo baby carrier and 3 month baby in it. We are glad we took a chance and made the side trip.
There are many ways to spend time today but few offer the opportunity for your kids to experience the truly mysterious. My daughters, age 3, 6, and 11, asked questions during the entire tour. A fun way to spend an hour or so- I believe it is unforgettable.
Its my first time experience of Caves and loved it. The inside the cave tour would be for around 40 Minutes. My friends family had kids and they enjoyed the activity outside the attraction. I think it would be more interesting if there were a nice park around the attraction. Also is a museum like construction on the back side of the Cave entrance if you would like to kill some time.
We went to visit the cave with my daughter and her family. They were celebrating Halloween in the cave and the grand kids were given various rocks throughout the tour. I had not been there since my adult children were small and had forgotten how stunning it was. The countryside near the cave was also stunning. A perfect way to spend a fall afternoon. We did walk on the trails afterwards since the weather was so nice. The grand kids enjoyed panning for rocks at the gift shop.
Cave of the Mounds is a small cave, but lovely tour. It's an intimate cave that winds down with great nooks and crannies! The tour itself is usually great, too. Check it out, and then visit the cute small town of Mt. Horeb near-by for shopping, food, a wine tasting or Grumpy Troll Brewery.I
Tour lasted about 45 minutes and for our family of 4 it was just over $50 admission! We were escorted around a cave to see rock formations. Was neat but not $50 neat. Seen it done it. No need to return. Can think of other ways to spend $50.
Visited cave of mounds in Blue mounds, WI in October 2014. It was an awesome experience and first time for me. Thought it is a small cave, it is maintained well and guide was very knowledgeable. He clarified all questions and was able maintain interest with in visitors.A must see in Wisconsin and open round the year. Recommend this place for family.
