Caves in Corydon

By Carrie Lambert on May 21, 2014

You heard about my dining adventures while I was in Corydon, but let me tell you about my cave experiences.

I have had Indiana caves on my list for years. I am not sure what I expected, but I can tell you that I didn’t expect each one to be so different. In total I visited three of the four commercial caves in Indiana. Two happened to be closely located outside of Corydon so I hit those in one day.

Indiana Caverns just opened in the summer of 2013 and is known as Indiana’s Longest Cave.Indiana CavernsIndiana CavernsThe tour includes a little bit of everything: open rooms, narrow passages and a boat ride. It is really hard (as you can imagine) to get great images in the cave, but here is my attempt.Indiana CavernsIndiana CavernsIndiana CavernsOne of the cool parts was seeing an active paleo-dig where they have scientists coming in to unearth preserved bones.  Indiana CavernsAfterwards, Maggie got to try her hand at gem mining!Gem MiningIt was a full morning of fun. We hated to see it end, so after lunch we made our way to Squire Boone Caverns.Squire Boone CavernsSquire Boone is Daniel Boone’s brother (did you know that?) and they have an entire village that showcases life when Squire Boone lived there.Squire Boone CavernsSquire Boone CavernsSquire Boone CavernsIn the grist mill they feature some of the rocks taken out of the cave from years (and I mean years!) ago …

Squire Boone CavernsRight next door to the caverns is Squire Boone Caverns Zip Line Adventures which features six different lines. But, new this year is a kiddie zip line designed especially for kids Maggie’s age! She loved it.Zip LineA full day, for sure, but so much fun!! For more information on the caves and other attractions in Corydon, be sure to visit This is Indiana.
