forestville/mystery cave state park印象

First off this place is kind of hard to find. There is a state park with the same name about ten miles away. The road getting here is a little rough as well. Basically you get there and pay for the tour and wait for it to start. They have a giant vault door in front of the cave so no sneaking in. They have lights in there that really illuminate the caverns well. The formations are beautiful and unlike anything you will see on the surface world. Nice and cool on a hot summers day. Worth the price of admission.

We camped in this area for a weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. The Mystory Caves and Historic Forestville were a fun day. We took our kids who have never experienced a cave before and thought it was cool. You have a tour guide who takes you around and talks about the caves. Historic Forestville was neat to see as well, you go on a tour of the little town to see what Lonsdale fee was like back then. Everyone there is really into character.

I'm so happy I chose Mystery Cave for my first cave tour. I never even knew of the cave until I was looking at the DNR parks website and came across it. Mystery Cave is the largest network of caves in Minnesota and most in Iowa, and it sure seems like it! The tour started off great, and our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. I am somewhat read up on caves and was glad to learn even more on the tour, including scientific explanations about how caves are formed, why they are shaped the way they are, and what sort of features can be formed depending on the environment. This cave is known for wide and flat low ceilings so it was very easy to maneuver around. Not only did I learn a lot on the tour, our guide was extremely genuine and fun. I will definitely come back for a more in-depth caving next time I have the chance!

Our guide was very thorough and knowledgeable and it was one of the better cave tours I've been on. Lasted about an hour. Park dept. has loaner jackets as the cave is always 48 degrees.

Awesome Cave,We had brought our summer school class to Mystery cave for a field trip here in hot July weather. It was nice and cool inside the cave during out tour. The park ranger was very informative on the history & knowledgeable of the cave during our tour. There is a beautiful small 10' deep lake inside this cave & 13 miles to explore of ancient past.There are different types of tours one can pick from guide tours to going and exploring on your own with cave gear. Mystery Cave is surround by a beautiful hard wooded forest with picnic areas in front of the cave center. Definitely must explore & great time. Would do it again!

The tour was great and the guide very knowledgeable. The Park is a bit tricky to find, so watch the road signs carefully. Watch your fellow tour mates as they allow children and even infants in strollers. The tour wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been listening to a very disgruntled toddler scream for nearly the entire 1 hr tour.

First things first. I'd like to reiterate what everyone is saying by repeating: Do NOT under any circumstances follow your GPS to get here, especially if you have reservations for a tour you have to meet. That being said, I really wish the signage was better. There are signs stating that the road is closed, but it doesn't tell you where to go. Also, be careful when taking the gravel roads. Do not take any roads that states "Low Mainenance Road". We had to practically ford a small stream to get over it.With all that said, we were late to our flashlight tour (which I HIGHLY recommend), and the group left without us. One of the staff at the front desk drove us out there and we were able to catch the tour. Extremely grateful for that. The tour itself was awesome. Our tour guide Kate taught us more than I've ever learned in a cave tour. We saw some really interesting fossils and formations, including a raft formation, which only 5% of caves have. All in all, it was worth it and I'd come back.

Rangers who are guides are very knowledgeable. Very organized. The 1 hr. tour leaves every 20 min. There are other more adventurous tours available also. Well worth the money and timer. They are very good with young children. Handicap accessible.

Tour lasted about an hour. Our guide was well informed about the history and the more interesting facts about the cave. The formations were very interesting to see. Perfect place to go when it is rainy or looking for a change of pace.

Loved this tour. So many caving options here. Informative and fun. Out of the way, but worth it. Nice picnic area!
