Most people that I know have not even heard of the Florida Caverns State Park (and I live just an hour away). However, I was looking for something to take my mom and nephew to that would be memorable. Its not a place to go for someone that is afraid of the dark or tight spaces. In some places it is amazingly open and spacious but in many spots people over 4 feet tall have to crouch or bend over.

I found the place enchantingly beautiful. From the surface the ground looks like any other place in Florida. Knowledgeable guides will give you the history of the caverns, the formations, and point out interesting features. At just $6 a person for adults, this is a great experience and an affordable outing for a family.
