Fairyland – Inner Space Caverns
I love caves. They are very inspirational, not to mention beautiful. Inner Space Caverns in Georgetown, Texas is only a few short miles from where we live. We’ve never gone there because the signs near the area are so cheesy, we figured the caverns were small and nothing more than a tourist trap.
Well, the signs are misleading! Thanks to regular blog-reader, Max, we decided to go visit the caverns and my! what a great surprise. The cave is very much a living cave with fabulous formations. It’s been a nice, wet winter too, so there were some great water flows, making for just a magical place. The cave costs about 18 dollars per person to tour and takes about an hour. It’s well worth it if you’re in the area. Beautiful formations, knowledgeable guides and a lot of fun.

Very nice pictures – and I see why Junior was terrified.

LOVE the cave pix. I’m an old spelunker from childhood, and I’ve always found them fascinating. The flowstone pix are impressive.

Hi Dee!
There are some very, very good caves in Central Texas. We really enjoyed this one. I think my favorite is a drive outside San Antonio–The Caverns of Sonora. It’s privately run also–just fabulous. It’s quite a drive to nowhere though to get there. Long day trip for us!!!
