Okay. Most of the review from 2011 has some truth to it. Keep in mind that this cave belongs to the woman who leads the tours, and from the sound of it she has been instrumental in preparing the cave for tours. We did have reservations but our tour started immediately at 2. The grounds are in definite need of some upkeep. If you want to see beautiful grounds go the the Madison Arboretum. If you want to see an amazing cave in Wisconsine come here (and Cave of the Mounds). Yes, the tour contains information on more than just geologic formations from some 20 year old intern and the owner does tell some stories that could be shortened. However, I very much enjoyed my 90 minutes underground and would highly recommend seeing these caverns. The owner is on the older side of life but if she is 80 then she is doing very well. I am happy to see some sites that have not been homogenized by corporate makeover artists. This is a very raw experience and I would go back again.
