We visited this state park over the weekend and LOVED it. There was so much to do! Historic Forestville was fascinating. My kids (ages 9, 7 and 4) enjoyed the tour and the guides each acted as real people who lived in Forestville in 1899.

We also toured Mystery Cave. My older children loved it, my younger one was a bit frightened by the dark, cold environment. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we all learned a great deal about caves.

Both were fantastic learning experiences.
