"Look don't touch"

I've been going here since I was a kid.  My kids love it as much as I did.  It is a great opportunity to see old Florida.  Go in the Summertime and make a day of it at the swimming hole.  Don't forget, camping and hiking opportunities are available.  Cameras are allowed in the caverns.  Claustrophobics may exit at any time.

"Explore the caves"

If you are driving on I-10 through Northern Florida, it's worth a detour to explore the Florida Caverns.  The tours are great for kiddos at least ten years old but little ones might get scared in the dark passages.  The tour guides are informative and fun.  There's a small visitors center with lots of educational displays about local flora and fauna which makes a great educational lesson on your road trips.  While waiting for your cave tour, you can explore the area on a few well marked trails.  Bring your bug spray!

"Fun with the Family"

Take your explorations 50 feet underground at an unusual setwork of classic limestone formations. Spelunking tours are ranger guided. Above ground you can hike, camp, fish, swim, golf, and canoe.

"Perfect for camping"

We love to camp at the Florida Caverns State Park.  You can take a short tour of the caverns while there.  The kids will love the stalactites and stalagmites and the fact that it is dark and spooky!  We were a little disappointed in the amount of trash and graffiti at the entrance of the cavern site.  I do not know if it has been cleaned up since.  The campsites are set in a beautiful part of the woods.  The bathroom facilities and the campsites are clean.  If you don’t have enough time to camp in the Florida Caverns State Park, the park is not far off of I-10, you can take a short break and walk through the caverns if you are driving past the area.  Before you hit the road again, have a picnic lunch.
