Cave of the Mounds is a beautiful natural attraction just outside Wisconsin Dells near the community of Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. This natural limestone cave was discovered by quarry workers in 1939 and opened as a tourist attraction in 1940. Mineral formations called speleothems have formed from mineral deposits on the limestone and are breathtakingly lovely.
The cave can be explored on a guided tour with knowledgeable guides who can point out and explain the stalagmites, stalactites, columns, and other rock formations inside the cave. The tour is preceded by an educational video. A fine gift shop selling rocks and crystals is available, and the park that surrounds the cave has walking trails, picnic areas, and a rock garden.
