Our Story...About Indiana Caverns

About Us, Our Story, Unique Discoveries, and More!

Indiana Caverns opened its doors to the public on June 15, 2013, after an immense cache of significant prehistoric remains was discovered. Just months after its opening, a four-person speleological survey team added 1,763 feet of a recently discovered section of the Binkley Cave system known as the Wild Wild West, putting Indiana Caverns in the top 7 of the longest caves in the United States, with much more to be mapped. It is unlike any place you will visit!

Today, Indiana Caverns is the longest cave in Indiana. We offer a full range of activities on our property, including walking cave tours, cave exploring, Bat Chaser zip coaster, the Plunge, Escape Rooms, Gemstone Mining, and more.

Undeniably fun for the entire family!
