Cool air, the sound of dripping water, a visual array of mystifying stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and draperies - this is what greets visitors when they explore the otherworldly depths of Florida Caverns.
This amazing cavern system was originally under the ocean! Thirty-eight million years of flowing water etched through the limestone. As the waters receded, the limestone caves were drained providing refuge for wildlife and humans alike.
