On Friday, July 2, we took a trip to see Inner Space Caverns in Georgetown. They found these caverns when they were digging to put in I-35, which now runs right over the caverns. Everyone was excited to go!
Adam was a little nervous, but was reassured when we let him carry a little flashlight. He tried to get us to buy this one for him too.
Lottie had to try on the spelunking hats too.
The big highlight was riding a little tram down into the cavern. Then we were ready for our tour.
The hole the contruction team drilled to see what was eating all their drillbits.
Sitting near a cavern pond where the tour guide turned off all the lights to show us total darkness. Aparently, you can hallucinate in total darkness after only a few hours. We didn't try it. We almost didn't get to experience total darkness at all - the tour guide turned off all the lights... then we saw a little light turn right on. It was Adam and his baby flashlight! We did manage to convince him to turn the light off.
After our cave tour, we panned for minerals. Adam and Lottie had a great time identifying (well, having Mom identify) all the minerals we found.

I have always wanted to go do those caverns and it seems to never work out when we are traveling. So, did you think it was worth it?
They are nice caverns, but a little small. Pros: perfect tour length for kids, informative tour guides, Ice Age animal bones. Cons: a little pricey. We had fun!
Looks fun. I love the pictures of the kids with the hat.
