We came here upon the recommendation of a friend. It isn't far off the highway, but it isn't a place you'd notice without a heads up. It's a cool cave experience. The tour took about 45 minutes or so and was interesting. Everyone enjoyed it, especially those who hadn't been in a true cave before with the stalactites and mites.
Great guided tour for beginners like my group of two moms and six boys. Very educational and adventurous at the same time.
This is a great little cave tour! Best to go on a hot day, this way you stay cool the entire time you are underground.
We had a young lady who has only been there a few months lead our tour. She was friendly and did well to keep the young and old alike interested and engaged while on the tour that is privately owned and has many features that few other caves within the United States have to offer.
I love caves, and this tour did not disappoint. All the usual corny jokes and puns that make cave tours unique and interesting sights. Great for families especially.
A Wonderful Cave Lots Of Formations.The Guide Was Great.There Was Cave Flowers Called Anthodites. A Rare Form Of Aragonite Crystals.Found In Only 2 Caves In The US.
This place is a great and family owned. It was the highlight of my trip to Galena/Dubuque. Our guide, Lexi, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job of managing a large group of people to make sure everyone was having fun. Our group had a lot of kids and she kept us entertained in the front of the line while we waited for all the kids to finish looking at things. Lexi also gave us ideas of things to do in Galena. This is a good spot to stop if you want to do something a bit different :)
Very nice cave, but we didn't care for our young, unfriendly Guide ( I think his name was Hunter)....He seemed annoyed and a rude!
Courtney was an amazing tour guide. we had my hearing impaired mother in law and she made sure that she apoke loud enoufh for her to hear. Nice little gift shop to get souvenirs at too. Julie is a very friendly owner and makes everyone feel welcome.
Well worth the time!! Our whole family enjoyed the tour. It's a little off the beaten path (there are plenty of signs) and hard to believe there is a cave on the property (it looks like a farm!!) If you don't like tight spaces, this may not be for you, however, you aren't in one place for too long. The formations are really neat.
