The staff was friendly and informative. The tour guide was great. The cave was amazing. My three year old was a little intimidated, but my two older kids loved it. Some older persons on the tour had trouble with the large amount of stairs and narrow corridors. The tour does last an hour. more

This was a neat cave to visit and the kids enjoyed it. But since we have been in many caves it is not one of the most impressive. It does have a neat story behind it. I am glad we went. more

Cave tours all year 'round. Great fun especially in the summer because the cave is cool. They also have events all year. Caroling in the cave for Christmas is a treat. You can enjoy singers from the area in the wonderful acoustics. There's also outdoor activites, hiking trails. The vistor's building has treats in the summer, and there's a nice... more

It is quite cool in the cave and jeans and/or a sweatshirt should be worn if you get cold easily. There are many beautiful formations to be seen, including the ones... more

The Cave itself is beautiful and not to be missed. The tour is very nice and informative. Our group was a little too large for us to hear everything the tour guide had to say from the back of the group. Our 4 year old wasn't ready for all the talking. Great attraction and great tour, but not for little... more

I can't believe I am the first person to review Cave of the Mounds. It is a National (natural) Landmark. The drive is a lovely drive from the Chicago-area. An easy day-trip. The caves are 1 million years old. The tour is aprox. 1 hr. They have stairs & lighted, paved, walkways. Our tour guide was great. They have a... more
