    Such a fun, unique place to check out! You can pick and choose your attractions a la carte (cave tours, goat feeding, The Plunge, etc.) or you can purchase a bundle. Some tips: 1) Some attractions, like the Bat Chaser (zip line) and The Plunge are weight-based. Use the scale and sign the waiver BEFORE going up to pay. 2) If you do Cave Tour, pack a long-sleeved tee. It's about 55 degrees year-round. It was about 92 degrees outside when we went, but it was 55 in the caves. 3) Ben was an awesome Cave tour guide! Answered questions, made the tour informative and fun. Request a tour with him if you can! 4) Gift shop is fun. Be sure to budget for bringing home a souvenir or two. Our kids, ages 10, 7 and 6, all had something to talk about for days after their visit!

    Indiana Caverns is the place to be in Corydon. There are many caves to choose from in the area and this one is top notch. They have a large parking lot. Just off of the parking lot is a picnic shelter with a bunch of picnic tables under it. On the perimeter of the property, past the shelter you will see a pin with a bunch of little sheep that you can feed. They have an Interceptive trail outside that has placards explaining what is going on under the spot you are at in the cave below. There are a few activities to do here. In addition to the cave tour, they have the bat chaser zip line ride, gem mining, an escape room, and the Plunge, a free fall extreme ride. I visited the caverns on a weekday during the winter, so the only thing available for me to do was the cave tour and gem mining. They have an indoor and outdoor gem mining station. The outdoor one is much bigger than the indoor one. The outdoor station is a long trough and the indoor station is just a 55 gallon wooded barrel. You get a bag of gems hidden in some sand that you have to sift out. Thee are 3 types of bags to choose from that offer different types/colors of gems. It is a small bag. All the bags are small. I have mixed feeling about gem mining, but ultimately, I would probably pass on it next time. It costs way too much for what you get. Inside the building is mostly a gift shop where you can buy gems, shot glasses, magnets, toys, a play mining hard hat, drinks, paper weights, books and a whole lot more. The tour of the cave is awesome. It lasts between an hour and an hour and a half. There is a limit to the size of bag that you can carry down to the tour, so plan accordingly. The tour starts with a short video talking about the origin and history of the cave. They you have a walking portion of the cave, followed by a small boat portion. The walking portion is some work. There a lots of stairs, hills and low ceilings to navigate. You will see a few fossils during the walking portion and probably some bling shrimp. About halfway through the inbound portion of the walking leg of the tour, you will take a souvenir picture in the cave, which you can purchase at the gift shop. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. The boat portion is nice, but beware, there is a part during the boat section where they turn the lights off in the cave. They do ask, if everyone is ok with it, before they do it though. I really liked that part. It is pitch black. You can't even see your hand in front of you. Our tour guide was awesome, which reminds me, you may want to bring some cash to tip your guide if you liked them that much. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She helped the slower members of the group catch up and did not rush us through the cave The tour ends and begins in the gift shop, where you are free to go or continue to shop on your way out. I really liked this place. It is about 2 hours from Indianapolis, but worth the drive. There is a lot to do here, especially in the summer. I highly recommend checking this place out. If you notice, most of the bad reviews are by people with less than 3 reviews.

    About a 45 minute drive from Louisville east end to Corydon, and not to far off the path once you exit 64. Large parking lot for a few attractions like their bungee rope, zip line, gemstone mining and escape rooms. We paid for our cave tour at the front desk and had 20 minutes to kill in the gift shop. Before moving to the cave you'll watch a small video, about 10-15 minutes. Indiana Caverns opened in 2013 and is privately owned. The cave begins will a decline, first a ramp then a spiral staircase. Small lights and a staircase will keep visitors on a path with a tour guide in front and someone else pulling up the rear. Your tour guide will point out various formations and tell the background of the cave. The highlight of the tour is the small boat ride. The ceiling of this section gets very low and it's your opportunity to sit in complete blackness. Enjoy the rest because the trek back up the staircases will make you winded, whew! Like any tour the guide will enhance the trip. Ours was nice and she pointed out any uniqueness of the caverns but I do wish there was more storytelling along the way about the explorers or recent work happening with the cave system. One gentleman asked some good questions but she wasn't able to navigate them. We enjoyed grabbing a bunch of junk food and drinks to sit outside after our tour before walking over to the gemstone mining. I highly recommend packing your own snacks and enjoying the available tables. The tour is about 90 minutes from start to finish. Make sure little ones pit stop at the restroom beforehand. Wear tennis shoes or another sturdy walking sandal. The staircase is slippery. You can take pictures and they will take a family photo you can purchase for $10. Masks are required inside the gift shop and on your tour.

    First time in Indiana and a cavern! Enjoyed our tour guide Malachi. The 'boat ride' was interesting.

    Went on a cave tour, which lasted about an hour and a half. First, you watch an educational film, which has references to the bible and hints at intelligent design theory. (FYI: these caves are mostly owned by private individuals instead of park systems.) It's kinda cool how deep down you go and you get to sit in a boat and travel back and forth on a small waterway. To make it more dramatic, they will turn off lights in the underground space. Pre-historic animal bones, the "face" formation, stalactites, and blind crawfish are seen on this tour. Most are pictured in the brochure. To experience it in-person, you will have to walk down steep cement walkways, then travail wet metal grated circular stairways, a couple narrow bridges, air that gets thinner as you descend 110 feet and railings which turn your hands orange. I knew this was not a cave known for its formations, and it had only been open for about a decade, but I hoped for more. The tour guide told us tales as we went down and then had nothing to say as we went back up. As someone who enjoys local geography and had some knowledge of the Binkley system, I was bored. This needs to be expanded more to be a value to the public.

    Very nice cave, we went on a rainy day and for security and our safety we waiting way past our tour time, as the young staff checked the water levels underground. In hindsight it seems scary, we were in good hands and thoroughly enjoyed the pre movie about the relatively new cave find in southern Indiana (SoIn). The boat ride was fun, they even turned the lights off out on the boat. YES, IT IS PITCH BLACK DARKNESS! Be careful when docking, fingers should be in the boat.... but he asked us to pull together the boats, hindsight that seemed dangerous with little finger assistance. Nice gift shop, chance to pan for gems and if season was better we could have flown around like bats, how dangerous could that be? Till next speleological day.

    A wood carved animal statue right outside the store very cool

    Me and my family went on the zip lines all thought it was short it was really fun and I would recommend it if your there. We also went on the walk tour down in the cave. It was awesome and our tour guide "Wesley" was very kind and funny and the experience was fun especially the boat ride in the cave. If you're thinking about going here it's very fun to go with family or friends.

    This was an amazing experience. The hosts of the tour was so insightful and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you like walking and don't mind thighs spaces or stares.

    Firstly, the employees here are super friendly. We had several questions before we got our tix and the young lady at the counter was very kind and patient. Unfortunately, you cannot book a tour ahead of time because they only do them as needed and as they fill up, so you need to kind of time it just right, especially if you have several people in your party. We did enjoy looking at all the fun stuff in the gift shop as we waited. The tour itself is unique since you walk and also get a boat ride. I wish the prices weren't so steep though ($25 per person). We were able to see ice age bones and a crayfish, so that was cool. After the tour, we were just hanging around outside waiting for the rest of my family to pick us up (elderly mom not able to do the tour, very steep stairs) and one of the employees again was super nice and offered to take our group pic. The cat that lives there, Mr. Sabertooth, was also cute to see!

    Really cool cave. We've been to several southern Indiana caves and this is the best one yet. It's pretty new. There are actual prehistoric cave bones in the cave! One is a bison. Where else would you get to see that in southern Indiana. Part of the tour is walking and then they give you a short boat ride. It's worth the admission price.

    Outside the building!

I called just before 4 pm and the man said I would make the last tour. I was the only one but how sweet to let me go through. Malory was my guide and she did an excellent job. She was probably surprised at all the notes I was taking. I even had to have her spell some of the words. It is a little scary when you go to the door in the side of a mountain and it is pitch black. You only have to walk a few feet and then you enter another door to the cave. It can get cold and drops do fall on you so wear appropriate clothing or hats. You also have to go down (I think she said 73 steps) and the stairs are narrow. Wear good tennis shoes or boots. Very interesting cavern and this was my first. Interesting fact: Squire Boone is buried in the cavern. Truth and interesting story as to why. There are a lot of things to do but because I came late and spent an hour on the tour all the other shops were closed down. There is a large gravel parking lot, so you park wherever. They have animals you may feed too. This is at least a two-three hour visit, so get there by noon. I visited May 31, 2023. $24 entrance

They also have lockers to put your things in if you don't have someone hanging back at the tables to hold your stuff.

So on our Anniversary Eve I told her what time we needed to get up and what time we needed to leave to make the drive from Louisville to the park. She had no idea where we were going. When we pulled in to the parking lot she said "Well, this looks fun!". We were fortunate enough to arrive about 10:45 am and were the last two booked for the 11:00 tour. The entre fee is around $25 per person, but being a Veteran I was able to get a $4 discount (I'm also told that the Veteran discount is the only discount they offer any more). The tour starts with a walk down a hill that I couldn't help but think would be GREAT on a sled in the winter. It's a helluva walk (both down and up), but VERY scenic. As you descend you can feel the air cool. On a 90° degree day it felt REALLY nice. Once you're down to the bottom you board a boat and start the tour. Sam was our tour guide and he was Most Excellent. Sam has been doing tours at Bluespring Cavern for about 9 years and he shared all kind of facts and trivia during out tour. As I recall our tour was about 5/8 of a mile at a very leisurely pace. Caverns are such amazing, wonderful places. They're their own little, secret underground world. No matter how many I my brain goes into overdrive trying to imagine how it was hundreds/thousands of years ago, how incredibly still and quiet it must be when empty, and how completely isolating they can be. Sam educated us as we went along and entered different "rooms" in the cavern, giving us history and safety tips (DO NOT drink the water) along the way. We even got to see a few bats on our journey. Our boat tour got over a lot sooner than I expected, then it was time to walk back up the hill I think it'd be a blast to sled down. No worries, I'm in pretty good shape. A quick visit to the gift shop and we were on our way. (I added another shot glass to my collection of over 700). We did the boat tour, but they also offer kayak tours and have an overnight room where groups can actually sleep overnight in the cavern. That would be SO freakin' cool! The staff was friendly and funny, the tour was great, and the gift shop wasn't overdone or kitschy. Bluespring Caverns is SUCH a cool place, and we will absolutely visit again.

    Paranormal treasure [Louisville KY]…read more Hubby wanted to do this tour when he learned that it was located in Louisville. I tried booking online thru Eventbrite but all tours that weekend were fully booked. I decided to give it a shot and called them. They were able to squeeze us in the first tour of the evening which was 9:00p. We arrived 15 mins early as instructed and made our way inside the gothic building. As many other curious visitors of Waverly Hills we were in search of history, architecture and the paranormal. There was a sign posted inside as we were registering: "This establishment is reported to be Haunted. Management is NOT responsible and cannot be held liable for any actions of any Ghosts/Spirits on these premises." www.theRealWaverlyHIlls.com Background: Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a former tuberculosis hospital in Louisville KY. TB was widespread in the area, resulting in a waiting list to stay at the sanatorium. Despite its name, Waverly Hills was not a mental hospital; a sanatorium is any institution that provides treatment and convalescence for chronic illnesses. Our tour guide was a member of the Historical Society. The experience included a guided tour where we were lead, at least partially, across all 5 floors and we also had the chance to look down the body chute. Waverly Hills has a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America and has been featured on ghost hunting shows as "Ghost Hunters," "Ghost Adventures," "Paranormal Lockdown," and "Buzzfeed Unsolved." There were some 30 of us in the tour... the historical stories shared with us were interesting and cool but I did not feel any of the following: full grabs, see shadows, apparitions, or shadow people, feel permanent residents walking up to people, taps, temp changes-cold spots, or hotspots, heard screams, footsteps nor door slamming. Too many people on our tour but I can't complain because we were just lucky to get in as extras. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is on the National Register of Historic Places for both its significance historically, as well as the architectural significance of the building. Review #3911
