Falling Waters State Park initially felt a bit small when we arrived, but as we continued to…read moreexplore, we quickly realized it was much larger than we first assumed. Our first stop, of course, was the sinkholes and waterfall. While the waterfall itself felt a little underwhelming considering it's described as the highest waterfall in the state, the experience was still quite serene. Hearing the water drop, feeling the cool breeze from the running water, and simply pausing to take it all in made the stop worthwhile. We were a bit disappointed to find that parts of the trail system were closed off, which limited some of our planned exploration. That said, we kept walking and were able to find other trails to enjoy. We ended up wandering around for about two hours, though we know we didn't get to see everything the park has to offer. One of my favorite unexpected features was the dedicated bat habitat area, which was both interesting and unique. Overall, it's a peaceful park with more to discover than meets the eye, and a nice place to spend a couple of hours exploring nature.

We had children ages 2, 5, and 7. There were many areas of the park that had activities for all ages. They loved the area with the castle and pirate slides. The lazy river was also a good size with no waterfalls to force you under. We had lunch in the cabana: chicken tenders, hot dogs, and a pulled pork sandwich. Everything was good. We saw many shaded areas outside of the cabanas as well. Overall we had a very enjoyable day.

I like that the area is zero entry so the edge is perfect for babies. They allow you to bring your own food and drinks. Snacks are a must with kids playing in the sun and water. ATMOSPHERE: Casual. Kid friendly. Clean. Shaded areas to sit and you can bring your own lawn chairs. There are also able lounge style beach chairs with umbrellas. The kiddy aquatics area is separate from the lap pool. There are ample lifeguards who seem attentive. They ensure to give breaks from the water and they do well at watching the weather. It do well at communicating any weather advisories. PROs- Cheaper admission on Sundays during the summer. CONs- I think it should be open for longer hours during the summer.

It is also home to the tennis center, walking trails, a bike trail, and connects with the water park. As you walk the trail part of the area is paved and another area is dirt. We chose to walk on the paved bike trail because the dirt trail was soooooo muddy. I enjoyed that there are some outdoor work out spots. The fields look to be well maintained, as did the rest of the park. A suggestion would to add some dog poop pick up cans.

There are plenty of slides suitable for younger children. Try to get there closer to open while it's cooler and the lines are shorter! A couple of things to note: If you park there, you will have to pay. The prices at the time we went were $35 for VIP parking at $20 for a further lot. The park opens at 10:00, but a couple of the slides did not open until after 11:00. The concession areas did not open until around 11:00 either.

Very disappointed with our experience at Big Kahuna's. Shortly after visiting the waterpark, my…read moredaughter developed a serious skin infection that spread across her body. We took her to the doctor, and we were told it was impetigo and that it was consistent with exposure to a contaminated environment. As a parent, it was extremely concerning and upsetting to see our daughter go through this, especially after what was supposed to be a fun family day. We expected the waterpark to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for children and families. I'm sharing our experience so other parents can be aware and take extra precautions. I hope Big Kahuna's takes situations like this seriously and reviews its sanitation and water-safety procedures to help prevent other families from experiencing something similar.

My husband Roger and I did this last Monday for our 24th wedding anniversary and it was amazing!…read moreOur tour guide Nick was both informative and amusing with his anecdotes and jokes. We're both considered heavy/overweight by our doctors but this was a moderate exercise for us and since it's cool in the caves (65 degrees), then it was simply something fun to do while looking at the beautify of the stalagmites and stalactites around us. The tour was time "just right", not too long and not too short. I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting an inexpensive trip to our Florida State Parks (the tour had a nominal feel). It can't be done after a hurricane though because the caves flood and it takes them a LONG time to pump out all the water (I think that Nick told us up to a year), so do it NOW when the weather is right. A+

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.
