Caves and Volcanoes Nature

Florida Caverns State Park

The only Florida cave open to the public on a guided tour - stalactites, flowstone and columns, at a constant 65 degrees.

Ages 5–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~3h
Difficulty Easy
Setting Outdoor

Florida is riddled with caves but almost all of them are underwater; Florida Caverns is the one dry cave with public tours. Rangers lead groups through decorated rooms of stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws and flowstone, on a paved path with lighting, taking about forty-five minutes. It stays at 65 degrees, which in a Panhandle August is the main attraction. There are low sections that require ducking, so it is not stroller-friendly. Tour tickets are sold same-day on a first-come basis and sell out on holiday weekends. Above ground there are trails, a spring-fed swimming area and camping.
