    I had such a fun time exploring the cave! The one-hour boat tour was really well-timed and my tour guide was really informative and witty with how she presented the history and fun facts of the cave. I also enjoyed uncovering what gemstones I got from their mining sluice! it brought back sweet memories of the boxes of rock collections I owned as a kid.

    The opening of the cave tour.

    Me and my fiancé had a wonderful time on the boat tour, our tour guide Wyatt was so very informative and friendly. We had the very last tour of the day so it was a little more quiet and we were able to ask quite a few questions. I would absolutely recommend this spot and tour, it is so very beautiful and I very much plan to visit again. Thank you so much, Wyatt! It was definitely a memorable experience for me and my partner, I hope I'll never forget it.

    We had a wonderful time visiting! I brought my niece (9) and nephew (7) and they loved it. I should have bought the "pass" for all the activities and ended up buying it later, but they had already done the "mining" so auntie paid for them to do that twice. The cave itself was majestic and worth the drive. With that said, a few things worth noting: -All of the cave information claim an easy walk. The steps down to the cave alone could kill you if you fell. They are incredibly steep and carved into stone. -Our tour guide was a high school boy, not an issue on it's own, but he definitely acted like a high school boy and it wasn't the best tour (even my niece was annoyed by him after an hour). Not so annoying that I wouldn't go, but I would probably not want him again. -The indoor golf is great if included in the package, but not worth buying on its own (if you are considering, I recommend you go look at the "course" first). - We could not get a good signal leaving and didn't choose the best route out. Recommend mapping and saving it before you arrive.

    A very nice experience.The tour guide Carson was very interactive with us.Really funny jokes.

    GREAT TRIP!! Omg I loved this tour/place! Our guide (Wyatt) was really nice and friendly, kind, helpful, funny etc.! The cave is little chilly so bring a light jacket. All of the people there are very nice people. The boats are very safe, they can help you get in if you need but it's really easy to get in. They do lots of fun activities in the cave like "total darkness "and "cave thunder". The gift shop is very nice, they have a big variety of different things. Great for groups. I HIGHLY recommend for a little nice trip out! THE PATH IS STEEP TO GO DOWN AND BACK UP!!!

    We had our last year. It was fun exploring the cave down below on a little boat that we had our God was funny I had a great sense of humor and they had a lot of landmark some fun things to see you. Great spot definitely recommend it.

    Pleasant little drive to the location. The facility is very clean. We had Hannah as a tour guide and she seemed to answer all the questions. The cavern is very beautiful and well preserved. I'm so happy I found this location and was able yo take my family. This is not a good place for people that don't do well walking. It's a large include to get in and out of the cave.

    We stumbled upon this gem while searching for ways to safely celebrate my mother's birthday. First, it was incredibly easy to find (GPS took us right there, despite poor signal in the area) with ample and free parking. Next, we were able to snag tickets for the 4:10 (final tour of the day). We had about an hour to kill in which we easily did so in the gift shop, reading brochures, talking with staff, and relaxing at the picnic tables. It was worth every penny of the $20.00 adult admission. Plenty of history, knowledge, jokes, and awe in this incredibly unique tour. Pro tip: wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket (it's 53 degrees underground), and bring a small flashlight (iPhone light wasn't that ideal) for extra light during the tour. Super Pro tip: there are hiking trails on the property that lead to a massive 10+ acre sink hole. If you're adventurous, wear your work out gear and explore prior to/after your tour.

    We drove down from IU for a quick tour around 4:45. Luckily we could go on the last tour at 5 with Hannah. My mom and I were the only ones on the tour due to it being closing time and a Sunday! We had a great tour and Hannah was very informative. She gave us the opportunity to ask lots of questions and always had jokes. I told my friends in Bloomington all about it so hopefully we can all some back. We found out about you guys from the Bloomington Magazine so your ads are working! Thank you for a great Indiana experience!

    If this is Clayton's first year giving tours on his own, then he is a Gem to keep in the organization. He was funny, knowledgeable, witty, and full of information which kept the tour very interesting. I especially liked how he poked fun at himself and talked about his history with the cave, as short as it is. Keep up the good work!

    Great for a little day trip from Indy. I come here every couple of years and while the tour remains pretty much the same, it is still always fascinating and you learn a little bit more every time. Once you purchase your ticket, you are given a time to be at the tour starting point. At the start you will be informed of the tour rules, very important, so nature can be preserved. This is followed by the decent into the cave itself. This is quite steep and once inside the cave can also be wet, so be careful. Then you get to board the boats and of you go... What a peaceful ride on the underground river. You will learn about the cavern, it's history and discovery, the animals in it, experience total darkness, learn about echos and see formations... The worst part for me though comes at the end, when my asthmatic self gets to climb up that steep hill back to civilization... I huff and I puff and occasionally curse, but generally make it back up eventually. The gift shop is nice with a fairly usual cave gift selection. Of course you can also buy bags of dirt that you/kids can 'mine' for gems or arrowheads.

    Daytrip date with my hubby today! We decided to drive to the Mitchell, IN and Borden, IN area today to hit up a farmers market, browse some antique shops, and try out the hour long boat tour at Bluespring Caverns. We arrived mid afternoon to Bluespring Caverns and found a full parking lot, luckily another lot was up nearer the main turn in entrance so we back tracked to it. The path to walk down was fairly steep which could be an issue for some, but wasn't a problem for us. We were greeted by friendly attraction ticket salesmen upon entering the building and were given a tour time about 30 minutes from our check in. We browsed the gift shop, walked and sat outside taking in the sounds of many birds and just relaxed until our cave tour boat time. Friendly tour guide greeted the group, went over the obligatory rules, and led us down the steep entrance to the cave while sharing some history. The boat tour was interesting, a cool 58 degrees in the cave (may bring a light jacket/sweater). Beautiful drive through farmland and countryside from Louisville to this attraction. Even more nice to return on a sweltering hot summer day!

    Really unique cave experience, so glad we came by! Our tour guide, Alex, was wonderful and the guys at the front desk were hilarious. Would love to come back and do the kayaking experience to learn even more!

The tours are in high demand, so make sure someone from your group gets there a few minutes before 9 to line up to schedule your time slot for the day. We did a tour with tour guide Morgan a few weeks ago, and it was awesome! Very interesting and educational. The tour takes about 20 minutes and you get to see a lot of different areas of the cave with different features, as well as some crayfish! There is one part where you can reach out and touch the cave as well. The boat is small and all riders straddle the bench inside for the duration of the tour. Could be difficult for older people and a little scary for some folks, especially those who have claustrophobic tendencies. You also need to be able to go down 85 steps to get to the boat and back up those steps after the tour. Life jackets are provided! Important to mention that my family is NOT outdoorsy at all, but we really enjoyed the tour! I recommend wearing a hat of some sort to prevent panic if any water drips on you as you go through. Highly recommend to those visiting the park!!

Be prepared for lots of walking. I had an injured person in my party, and she wasn't able to do most things. Also, the room was small! The bathroom door was only two feet wide and the bathroom itself was very narrow. One of the beds was against the wall. Also the restaurant was buffet only. There was no menu ordering.

There is a page in the room binder on how to change the temperature, fan speed, and blowing pattern. The beds were very comfortable and came with six pillows on each bed. There was an in room refrigerator.The Pioneer Village was very nice. It was also very nice that a church service was offered in the Pioneer Village. I greatly enjoyed it, but only happened to find out about it by accident. I didn't visit it, but there was a game room available. I really enjoyed the outdoor patios at the hotel. They are conveniently located and well kept. The view from the patios of the large trees and rolling hills was beautiful.
