About this activity

Adventures can happen anywhere on this amazing planet - and underground is certainly one place that you can still have some amazing adventures!

Cave Of The Mounds has been giving families adventures and excitement for 75 years, and it's not stopping now! The whole family can explore these amazing feats of the natural world through guided tours. Paved, and lit walkways will take you through the spectacles of this geological wonder, every day of the year!

Kids will love the colorful crystals sparkling as they pass them. They will love seeing the crystallized rock formations and the reflective shimmering pools - a great way to learn about the history of this planet and how incredible it really can be!

There are a number of formations that you will experience as part of the Cave Of The Mounds tour - the colorful stalactites, and the majestic columns, and the stalagmites that come up from the ground. If you're a lover of caves, someone fascinated by geology, or just up for some adventure, these tours have something for you all!

But wait a minute...Caves Of The Mounds are so much MORE than caves! Kids can have a go themselves at trying to uncover some precious gems at the Quarry's Edge Mining Sluice! There's a Discovery Center with examples of cave formations and fossil specimens - great for learning!

There are even amazing hiking and biking trails in the area if you want to stretch your legs between those gemstone sessions, and beautiful gardens to explore with butterflies and birds, so kids can experience another style of environment.

Overground adventure, underground adventure…but certainly lots of family fun!
