Where are some cool caves?

Carlsbad caverns are the coolest ones I have been in. Ive been in a few in Tennessee but they werent even close to as cool as he carlsbad. But there isnt shite to do around carlsbad either

Not in the South, but these caves are incredible

Mammoth caves is what you're looking for. It's in Kentucky, though, so it's a good drive away.

Longhorn Caverns in Texas are good.

Florida Caverns State Park in Mariana, FL isn't too far from Baton Rouge (5 hours maybe) and I've heard it's pretty good.

From a web image search:

Visited Luray Caverns in Virginia a few weeks ago. Very interesting if you're in the area - hardly worth a destination however.

12pence nailed. mammoth is great.

cumberland is fantastic for a caver. you can literally go underground for days at a time spelunking if you have the guts to do it. i am way too claustrophobic to handle that but i have lots of friends into it and they love it.

but for a family...i think you can't go wrong with ruby falls in chattanooga. you get both a caving adventure with the family thats not too strenuous (1 mile or so) with THE BEST PAYOFF EVER at the end. i would do this one over mammoth or cumberland.

Take a trip out West. Hit Carlsbad on your way to Sedona and/or Grand Canyon. The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Parks are on the way there. We did this a few years ago.
