When I asked her if we could just drive around OR walk, she refused even when I said we had driven 40 miles just for that purpose. I will have to reserve BLINDLY for next year and be content with whatever site we get shaded or not. Looks like she had a bad night and hope that Karma comes around, it wasn't like we were going to sneak in and spend the night in the car when we were staying in Topsail which I am almost sure is better than this other one. I am sure that if I was a politician she would've extended the red carpet. So this review is not about the Park itself but about the Ranger at the gate and her attitude towards potential customers

If you've never been to the Florida caverns being that there even is any caverns in the state of…read moreFlorida is pretty awesome and unique the experience is always exciting and fun. I've been to this cave a few times over the last 15 years.. and every time I've come, there's always something different about it. When you first get to the cave, be prepared to stop and pay five dollars to enter the state park this is probably one of the only cons about the whole place. I don't know why the state park doesn't include admission to the park along with your admission to the caves, all in one. . At any route five dollars per car load to enter the state park after driving some twists and turns you come up to the visitor center. Don't be discouraged by everybody coming out in sweatshirts or hoodies I was informed by our tour guide that these items would not be needed as the cave is a Balmy 65° all year round. We scheduled our tour online, which showed up three hours early. They're scheduling physically at the place is different from their scheduling online we showed up with the intentions of waiting around for two hours before our tour and was told by the visitor center. There was a tour leaving in five minutes if you want to jump on that one and I gladly accepted . We joined the tour group of about 25 people and Jack was our guide. A local FSU university student. He did a phenomenal job explaining that to the caves along with a lot of humor to make it more enjoyable. After a short three minute walk from the visitor center down to the entrance of the caverns at a depth between 60 and 100 feet underground.. you emerge in a area on a slight incline, surrounded by slag mites, and slag types. As you walk through the cave, your reminded that overtime, the cave changes, especially after hurricane Michael came through in 2018. The caverns apparently filled completely up to the ceiling and along with it brought several tons of sand into the caverns, which all had to be excavated by hand looking at the massive case system seems like such a daunting task, but with the help of volunteers from FSU in the surrounding area, they were able to get it done in three months time. Back to the caverns as you meandering your way throughout your showing multiple different formation names all of which I can't remember, and you come upon the original entrance to the caverns Jack explained to us the former owner of the caverns and their intended use as a tourist trap before eventually turning hands over to the Florida conservation corps.. the walk through the caverns just about 3/4 of a mile before emerging back out the other side and tour. I didn't wanna leave because it was so extremely hot the day that I went outside and being inside, the cave felt so much more relaxing.. Overall, it's a very unique experience . I highly recommend anybody that hasn't been to go to it. You will not be disappointed in anyway.. it's also very good for children as well. I had my eight year-old with me and they learned a lot..

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.
