Have You Toured These Three Beautiful Underground Wonders in Minnesota?
Minnesota has many stunning sights. We have numerous lakes, forests, and rivers, but something most people don't know is that we are also home to a few alluring underground marvels.
Three Caves in Minnesota That Are Worth A Visit
1. Mystery Cave in Preston, MN
This place has been on my Minnesota bucket list for years! I just haven't found the perfect time to make the hour and a half drive to Preston.
Minnesota's longest known cave, Mystery Cave, is located within the perimeters of Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park. From stalactites, stalagmites, wonderous underground pools, and interconnecting passages, Mystery Cave will leave you in awe.

This cave is equipped with a 60ft waterfall, a subterranean wedding chapel, and various fossils.
Though currently closed for the winter, the hour-long tours will start back up in April.

3. Soudan Underground Mine in Soudan, MN
Now, this one isn't technically a cave, but it is still astonishing. My family and I visited a few summers ago and had a fantastic time exploring Minnesota's first iron ore mine. The tour guides were exceptionally knowledgeable about the old mine operations.
Tours run Memorial weekend through October.
