caves in Florida

Did you know, there are actual PUBLIC caves in the state of Florida ? Real ones, not created by Disney ?

I discovered these caves by accident, I was driving aimelesly in the northern parts of the state, just enjoying the scenery, when all of the sudden I saw a sign: "Florida caverns". It took a while to sink in, but than I decided to investigate. Caverns in Florida ??

Yes, and they are real cool too. And most defenitely worth a visit. From the parking it is a 5 minute walk to the booth. After buying a ticket you are molded into a group and taken on a 3/4 hour tour.
I am unfamiliar with US caves in general, but as European I have seen formations I have never seen before in any other cave. Beware of temperature drops, and stairs... Lots of stairs.
