"The caverns were amazing!"
The caverns were amazing! It was a perfect trip for my two elementary aged daughters and i. The walk wasn't too long or difficult and there was many new sights to keep my 6 year old occupied. It is a bit muggy and humid so be prepared and wear comfortable walking shoes with good traction. Some of the trail is steep and can get very wet. There's also all kinds of ziplines and climbing things inside the park as well. We really enjoyed the ice cream and fudge shop too. My girls also were able to pan for gemstones and that was a big hit. This is a great activity that can be done in a few hours or there's enough to spend a whole day. I definitely plan on going back.
