Yesterday I discussed the trip my daughters and I took to Forestville Mystery Cave State Park. There are several things to do in the park including many miles of hiking, but one of the main attractions is Mystery Cave. If you've never been to a cave, Mystery Cave is a great first time caving experience. Even if you've been to caves before, Mystery Cave is a great option to see another cave. The park rangers have several different tour options. You can't visit the cave on your own, you need to be part of one of the tours. Tours reservations can be made in advance or you can walk up, but the numbers for each tour are limited and you may wait a couple of hours for the next free tour if you just walk up.

We took the Scenic Tour. It was the only option for my 5 year old. There are other cool cave options, but you need to be older. Despite this, the Scenic Tour was fantastic! It's about an hour long tour that takes you into different sections of the cave. Here are a few pictures we took.
The tour was amazing and well worth the admission cost! I can't wait until my daughters are both old enough to go back and do the flashlight tour. It takes you into a different, less developed (fewer walkways, no lights, etc.) part of the cave. To end, if you're in or near southeastern Minnesota and looking for things to do, Mystery Cave is an excellent option!
