Discovered in 1883 by two young children, Marengo Cave is one of the most visited natural sites in Indiana. Visitors can choose from two walking tours, one of which leads through the stalagmites and stalactites of the Crystal Palace and the other of which gives visitors a taste of the cave's pure darkness. If you're craving a bit more adventure, you can even join a cave crawl that leads through tight holes and passageways. There are also several activities geared towards younger children, including a gemstone mining station and a winding maze that simulates the experience of exploring a cave.
