Where can I find cave tours in Indiana?
Indiana has an elaborate cave system, so you have ample opportunity to go exploring underground. Here are a few cave tours in Indiana that we think you'll enjoy:
- Marengo Cave, Marengo, IN: You can find not one, but two cave tours at Marengo Caves. The shorter Crystal Palace Tour will take about 40 minutes and will treat you to plenty of interesting underground rock formations. The Dripstone Trail is longer and more technical, but even more incredible. Aside from your typical soda straw formations and stalagmites, you'll discover the iconic Penny Ceiling. This interesting location has a continuously muddy ceiling - tourists have been tossing coins into it for decades as a sort of reverse wishing well.
- Twin Caves, Mitchell, IN: Spring Mill State Park has some interesting formations called Karst Windows. They occur when a cave roof collapses exposing the groundwater below the surface in pools or streams of water. Fortunately for us cave explorers, we can tour some of these fascinating spots by boat! Cave tours run from Memorial Day weekend until mid-October.
- Indiana Caverns, Corydon, IN: The Indiana Caverns offers a rather unique opportunity. You can go on a "real" spelunking tour where you can crawl through dark tight places, wade through underground pools, and explore a large section of the 44-mile cave system. The four-hour Deep Darkness Tour is an adventure to remember. If you aren't a fan of dark cracks and wet boots, the Indiana Caverns Family Adventure Park offers more traditional cave tours as well as a thrilling zip-coaster and escape rooms.
