Every time I visit this place, it is an extraordinary experience. The people who work here are real and fun to be around. They answer my questions and we chat as if we are old friends. I bring my family here (aunts, cousins, parents, siblings, etc.) and every time I do I learn something. The self-paced guided tours are the best! They allow my EXTREMELY SLOW, inquisitive family members to take their time and ask questions. Let me tell you, they ask the weirdest questions but this staff doesn't bat a lid at them and answers them with ease. Thank you for your patience Cave of the Mounds as well as giving us a place to go for a couple of hours that is unique.

My wife & I made a detour into Wisconsin on our way to Kansas City to stop here and boy are we grand we did. The caves were so very cool & the people that work there were so informative. Make sure to rent the black light flashlight & shine it everywhere on the tour, you won’t be disappointed

I was thru it in 15 minutes and could go around again if interested. Good for families with small children. This is not handicap accessible or big enough for obese people.
Maybe ok if you have not been in other caves in U.S.

I have been on many cave tours all over the country and this is the first one I've been to that was self-guided. I liked that you were able to go at your own pace and take your time looking things over. We didn't need any explanations, but if you haven't been to a cave before it may not be too informative. The cave isn't very big compared to others in the country, but the formations were very impressive. There is a LOT of color, rather unusual to see so much color in one cave.

This was really a nice discovery. The cave is beautiful! Self-guided tours are the norm and very enthusiastic students are there to answer your questions.

Eight of us arrived at the last minute before 4:00 to sneak in on their final tour of the day. All the staff was very accommodating and moved quickly to get us in on the tour. The self guided pace was nice and having hosts in the "rooms" to tell us a little about the cave as we wondered through was helpful. But the cherry on top was when Chris offered to give us a bonus cave adventure as all the other guest groups had left. He safely showed us which formations glowed under black light and shut off the lights to show us the natural cave environment. Everyone (ages 11 and up) had a great experience! Thanks Chris, and the rest of the staff, for making out last minute stop extra special!

The tour seemed expensive for how short it is, but we enjoyed ourselves. I liked that the tour is mostly self guided, so we could go at our own pace. There are people along the way periodically who explain certain formations, so that was helpful. We drove some winding roads to get there because a bridge was out, but it's worth a stop.

It’s a great place for kids preschooler age and up. Our kid really enjoyed it, even though she was scared of the dark-giving her a flashlight really helped. I saw some complaints about it being too small and a really short tour but honestly, if you have a young child, it’s great! It held their attention for long enough. If it was any longer, and had way more stairs, our kid’s mind would’ve checked out and went crazy. The gift shop at the end was nice. There were many cute things, like carved animals and pretty jewelry. They had a fill it up bag for gems which was great for our kid, the small bags was able to fit quite a lot of small gems for about $4-5(forgot exact pricing). They also had bags of sand with random rocks or fossils that you can find in them. You just take it to the sluicing area in front of the tour/gift shop and sift away. Our kid loved that part! They also sold geodes that they can open for you or you can take it home and crack it yourself. Overall, we would probably go back again since our kid loved it. If you’re not that into caves and rocks, it’s still a pretty decent place to visit at least once, if you’re in the area.
Tip 1 - go early, we got there about 45 mins after opening time, and there wasn’t that many people there, but when we were finishing up, there were so many people, the parking lot was full.
Tip 2 - don’t forget the flashlight for kids, they do sell some in the gift shop before you go into the cave.
Tip 3 - they sell the tickets in the info center. The tickets go by color times. If you hang around the front of the gift shop, someone will come out, call for your colored ticket, and guide you towards entrance. It’s a self-guided tour, but there are multiple people along the tour to give you info or help if you ask for it.
Tip 4 - wear warm clothes, or at least long pants and a light sweater. We went on a pretty hot day, so it just felt like being in a nicely chilled ac room. But it was horrible when you finish and came back out to the surface. It was so hot.

This is 5 star and as far as I'm concerned, well wort the time and ticket price and a must do! There is a bit of a drive to get there if you are staying in Wisconsin dells, but the rock formations were stunning! The tour is self paced which is all the better. You can take your time and spend as much as you like at the different formations taking video or photographs. Take as many pictures as you like with or without flash.
There is some walking in the cave as well as up and down the stairs but that wasn't a big issue even though I am overweight and have a mild heart issue. There are personnel placed throughout the cave ready to answer your questions and that is nice. They seem very knowledgeable. The formations are spectacular, nothing quite as big as Merimac Caverns, for example, but this is a cave, not a cavern and it's plenty big. Again, it's nice to be able to walk it at your own pace without some guide rushing you along.
There is a really nice gift shop with many aggregate and other polished gems for purchase at reasonable prices. They said the temperature is around 50 degrees and dress appropriately so I wore jeans, t-shirt and a light jacket. I would say maybe upper 50's lower 60's and I was quite comfortable. Shorts if you like, just be aware of the cooler temperatures. I can't say enough on how great my visit here was! Not expensive and anyone in the area should do this!.

VERY short cave and no guided tour (they sell it as a guided tour but actually a few teenagers sprinkled around to give a little factoid isn't a replacement for a guided tour!) and cost $80 for 3 adults and one child. I LOVE caves and even though i got a couple nice pics, i left feeling i got swindled. Our toddler was with us which was a nighymqre--DO NOT bring young kid--the walkways are very small and they aren't supposed to touch the walls but it's almost impossible not to. If you haven't been on a cave tour the treat yourself but there are much better cave experiences for the money.

Why would anyone go to this place IF they charge admission, require a guided tour and then have incompetent guides? This sounds like a hick-town level of non-professionalism. Why would anyone give these hicks money for a cave tour led by a lousy dumb guide? I think we have just taken this off of our Wisconsin travel itinerary. Thx for the heads-up.

Is it open in the rain? Would rainy weather detract from the experience?
Caves_Rock
Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
Cave of the Mounds is open rain or shine! Heavy rain and/or snow melt above ground does eventually mean more dripping water inside the cave. It is quite beautiful to see AND hear the water dripping into the cave.

I will be traveling with my parents, I would like to do the tour only, no rock digging etc. but my parents are 87 and 81 and have some mobility issues so the Caves will not work for them. Is there anywhere for them to sit in the month of June while I view the cave tour? Or anywhere else close by that I can leave them at for a bit and drive to the Caves?

Any guests who choose not to take the Cave Tour are welcome to rest in our Visitor Center, browse in the gift shop, have a snack or a cup of coffee and just enjoy their time above ground with our friendly staff.

Is this suitable for a 3yr old?

We welcome our littlest cave exploreres to Cave of the Mounds. Children ages 3 and younger receive a free Tot Ticket. Here is what is says on that ticket: "The the comfort of your tot - and for all cave guests - you may be asked to accompany your child out of the cave if your child becomes exceedingly upset or inconsolable during the course of your tour. Please check in at the Gift Shop desk should this occur." Also, if you plan to carry your young child on the tour we recommend a soft-sided front carrier and we have some you may borrow for no charge.
Is it suitable for an 85 year old woman in good shape?
Caves_Rock
Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
Use your own best judgement, but anyone in "good shape" should be able to enjoy the cave tour which is on paved and lighted walkways.
are we able to touch the cave or is it a hands to yourself place
Caves_Rock
Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
Cave Conservation is a very important part of cave exploring and show cave visitation. Caves are very fragile and it could take thousands of years, if ever, to repair any damage caused by careless cavers and visitors. Also there are laws in all states that make it illegal to damage or remove anything that is in the cave including formations. That is why our expectation is that guests not touch the cave walls or formations.
Is there a weight limit? Are there tight squeezes where one who weights 300 lbs can fit through?
Caves_Rock
Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
There is not a weight limit. The entire tour is on paved, lighted walkways. There are a number of steps, alternating between both up and down sets of steps, throughout the cave. There is one very short and very beautiful passage we call "the narrows", but there is also a very large bypass tunnel in that area that guests are welcome to use instead. Use your best judgement and talk with your tour guide if you have any questions or concerns during your tour.
