Florida Caverns State Park is located in Marianna, FL, 68 miles northwest of Tallahassee. It's $5…read moreper vehicle entry into the park and then it's $16 for a guided underground cave tour. Tours last around 45 minutes and they run throughout the day from 9am - 4pm Central Standard Time. A limited number of cave tour reservations can be made online ahead of time at floridacaverns.com. This cave tour is pretty straightforward. You enter 65 feet below the surface into 8 illuminated rooms learning insights into limestone formations, mineral deposits, rock columns and fossilized shells. A lot of the rooms are colorful exhibiting a sort of glow in the dark appearance. The tour guide gives background and history into what makes the caverns unique and how they came into existence. Once the cave tour is completed, a great way to continue your visit is by driving 2 miles down the road (within park limits) to check out Blue Hole Spring. This has to be one of the least talked about springs I discovered in all of Florida. An absolute hidden gem, the Blue Hole is a tucked away swimming treasure that lights up turquoise blue colors when the sun is shining. Refreshing off in these waters was the best part about the park visit and quickly put my cave tour experience in the rear view mirror. The waters of Blue Hole Spring are incredibly translucent even while continuing the 2-mile flow through the woods and connecting with the Chipola River. Some extras at the park are...overnight camping for $20, hiking trails, picnic pavilions and launching canoes and kayaks. Overall, Florida Caverns State Park can be a worthwhile stop when visiting Marianna, Florida, with a combination of cave exploring, swimming at Blue Hole Spring and spending time in nature.

Florida Caverns State Park made for a memorable stop on our road trip from Tampa to Destin…read more Exploring the caverns was definitely worth doing in this beautiful state park. We directly went to the office to inquire about the caverns tour. We then booked our tour, which would begin in 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we explored the caverns museum, which provided general historical information. Yardi was our excellent guide for the caverns. She provided us with great information and detailed history about the caves, making the tour both informative and engaging. The tour lasted approximately 45 minutes, and Yardi kept it interesting from start to finish. The park also has a food truck for quick bites. Florida Caverns State Park is a great place to learn about the history of caverns within the park.

This lovely park features six walking trails, both paved and unpaved as well as a fitness trail. The lodge building (closed for COVID) would usually seat 100 people. The gazebo, lodge and pavilions are all available for rent. The park has a playground, picnic areas and lots of open space, some of which is lighted for ball playing. Some parking but not nearly enough to support the lodge if it was full. [Review 14707 overall, 207 of 2021, number 1266 in Florida.]

I don't think I would go out of my way to come to this park. However, it is not a terrible place. There is just not a lot to do here.
