Best caves around Louisville

We will be in Louisville for two days in May and are planning on visiting two caves in Southern Indiana. Our three choices are Wyandotte Cave, Marengo Cave, and Squire Boone Caverns. If you could only visit two of these three, which two are the best?

I have been to Marengo and enjoyed the visit. I have not been to the others.

I have been through Marengo, but it was about 5 years ago. At the time, they had a little visitors area and showers to use. It was nice.

Just checking, are you looking for a walk through cave or do you want to do some crawling and get dirty? In Marengo, we got wet up past the knees and did a lot of crawling. I was muddy and wet when I got done.

I am not sure if you can choose a ';clean'; trip but the one I did was messy. And fun.

Thanks for your help. We are not that adventurous. We were looking for a clean tour that would take us on a well worn walking path.

If you are looking for a clean tour, go to Squire Boones. Guided tour along lit pathways with stairs. Take a jacket because it gets cold in there, but you won%26#39;t get wet unless you slip and fall into the water. And to do that, you have to be really clumsy and wearing really bad shoes.

Speaking of shoes, the end of the tour is a metal stairway. No way out but up. So make sure you can walk and climb easily.

Fair warning, the set up around the village is cheesy. If you have kids, they would like it though. Just about every school in that area has a field trip there.

Marengo and Wyandotte I%26#39;ve never been to.

Which two days in May? If it is during the first week of May, forget the caves. The Derby Festival is much more interesting! You%26#39;ll have a hard time finding a room then though.

My kids LOVE Squire Boone Caverns. Their favorite part is that the tour ends (shockingly!) in the gift shop! Amazing how that happens!

Seriously, it is a lot of fun for the little ones. My oldest is 12, and I think he%26#39;d even have a good time if we went back this summer, although he might not admit it this time! The tour is pretty good for a small cave. It has neat history too.

For around $5, you can get a bucket of sand/dirt full of cool rocks and crystals and sluice it all out in a ';panning for gold'; type setting. My kids are always thrilled with their loot.

There is also a candle dipping area. Again a dollar or two, and the kids (or grown-ups) can dip a small candle to take home. (An neat fact is that all the candles sold at Disney World are made at SqBC).

There is also a candy store packed with sweets and a small deli-type restaurant. I think there is a grist mill too, but we%26#39;ve never been in it.

All in all, it%26#39;s a good fun day. Old-fashioned cheesy fun. You can go on-line and get discount tickets.

I%26#39;d recommend it!

Marengo Cave is very nice and has tours that are not strenuos. I would definately recommend it.

Thanks for all your help and replies!
