Minnesota’s Mystery Cave Announces Fall Tour Schedule

This is the perfect time of the year to take a road trip.  The colors are beautiful and you don't usually have to worry about freezing rain or other slippery travel conditions.  One great Minnesota destination is the Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park in the southeastern corner of the state. 

According to the Minnesota DNR, the popular one-hour Scenic Cave Tour, where you will see underground pools and view fossils that are over 450 million years old, will take place during the following times this fall:

• Weekdays — Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 9 to Oct. 2, tours daily at 1:30 p.m.
• Weekends (and during the Education Minnesota break Oct. 15-18) — Saturday and Sunday, September through Nov. 1, tours on the hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tours are $12 per person age 13 and over, $7 for children ages 5-12, free for children age 4 and under. Discounted rates are available for school groups (10 or more) who contact the park at least one week in advance. A state park vehicle permit ($5/one-day or $25/year-round) is also required.
