Did you know that there was a cave at Silver Dollar City?? I didn't! Well, as the story goes... the Cave obviously was there first! It used to be the only attraction!
People came from all over to go to this cave, the lines would be so long and People would get bored while waiting so slowly the owner of the cave built gift shops and then rides so the people would have something to do instead of just waiting in a line!! Now people go to Silver Dollar City to enjoy the rides and shopping and most people don't even know the cave is there! I thought this was very interesting! Our family had to go the last day the park was opened which happened to be the coldest day! They did a tree lighting and had a Christmas parade! After we watched this we decided to brave the cave!
They do a lantern tour where they give you a lantern and thats all the light in the cave, then they do an All lights on tour, where there are lights on all through the cave, which we did since we had the kids. It was quite interesting! There were water falls with high calcium and lime, you could see the lime and calcium buildup all through out the cave! Back in the day they mined this cave for bat feces! to make your leading mascaras!! Bats still live in the cave but we didn't see any, there were many places in the cave, small spaces, huge spaces, wet places, and dry places! We had to walk a ton of stairs down into the cave, we then went up and down throughout until we reached the end where they had a trolley take us back up top!

Jeremy and I visited the caves back when Sloanie was a baby. It was beautiful, gross, amazing, and claustrophobic at times. I am glad you all went!! Tell Josh I am sorry too. I got offended way to easily.
