We went here for Mother's Day...moms were able to get in for free! My children absolutely loved it here...they had a great time exploring the rock garden, feeding/petting the deer, climbing through the caves, visiting the sugar house, and walking on the nature trail. The climb up to the caves can be strenuous, and you really do need sneakers to... More

Loved our son's excitement at our new family "adventure" as he calls them. Not everything was opened due to being so early in the season (1st weekend). Will probably go back later in the season. More

My daughter and I went to the Polar Caves for her 13th birthday. Frankly, it was her choice and I thought she would be disappointed. I had been there with both of my kids when they were little. I was wrong - we really had fun climbing through the caves - they were cool - and it was the end... More

Better be in shape and hefty folks beware. No large cave small caves many just caves difficult to navigate if wet. bit over priced for what you get. Kids will like petting zoo the best. More

We are sorry you feel this way. Many people find our caves very enjoyable and marvel at the workmanship of the boardwalks and views you can get from the Raven's roost. The 8 caves with boardwalks running through them take a lot to keep safe and maintained and I would love for you to share where you can find any... More

I visited Polar caves with my family. Two adults two kids (11 and 14) I had a blast! They have some very fun and exciting caves to go through. They also have some animals to look at and feed! The caves are all lots of fun but with some still being challenging. It is a great place to visit! If... More

The Polar Caves are only polar in relative temperature but do provide a great space for energetic to run around, and if one stops to read the signs, to learn a bit about geology and natural science. Some of the caves, which are natural crevasses created by glacial activity, are quite tight and require a bit of contortion. I'm in... More

I am a single mother of 2 boys (ages 10 and 6). When we got to the park, there were pheasants, deer, and ducks. My boys weren't interested in them one bit. They bolted straight towards the path to the caves. I went into the first few caves with them then bypassed the rest. I'm not one for ducking down... More

I had gone to the Polar Caves about 30 years ago. I loved it then, going through the caves kept me busy. I visited again in August with my 17 year old daughter and saw that there were now animals, a garden, trails and different buildings selling items that far exceeded the quality and diversity any gift shop I had...

We were on our way to go hiking when we drove into a rainstorm. We doubled back to this place we had seen on our way. SO GLAD we stopped! We had 3 families with 7 kids (preschoolers, toddlers, and a baby), and nearly all of us went into the caves. It was $15 per adult, and I think kids... More
