It’s Day Three of our whirlwind adventure visiting some of Wisconsin’s most famous tourist attractions. Today, we head to Cave of the Mounds near Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. It’s a privately owned cave that’s listed as a National Natural Landmark due to its educational and scientific value. For a fee, you can take a self-guided tour of the quarter-mile long limestone cave and see stalactites, stalagmites and fossils.


Did you go on a field trip here as a kid? Have another fun memory? 


Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email madison@citycast.fm and we might play it on the show. 

We’re also sharing our favorite photos and videos on Twitter and Instagram.
