Cave of the Mounds

Cave of the Mounds

Cave of the Mounds is a colorful underground cave near the town of Blue Mounds. It is filled with dripping rock formations that took thousands of years to grow.

It is famous for its delicate stalactites and stalagmites in shades of pink, tan, and gray. Kids love the guided tours where lights reveal sparkling crystals and hidden rooms deep underground.
