There is a portion of the cave where the lights were turned off. It is pitch dark and you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Classic cave. More

When we visited the cave was closed due to a fungus on the bats. The folks managing the cave did not know when or if it would ever open again. There is run down walking path leading the the cave but not much else to see around there. More

The caves locked almost an hour before they were supposed to according to the calendar on the visitor center. But the trail was still pretty, and the museum was small, but interesting. More

Fun, inexpensive and very interesting are the guided tours here. Wear jeans and comfortable shoes, be prepared for the cool cave temps even in summer. Bring the kids, they'll love it! More

Athough the cave tour had been suspended indefinitely, it is a nice park to take a leisurely walk. Lots of Canada geese and duck swimming in lake. The visitor center has many interesting facts about the cave and its history. More
