Crystal Cave Tour Spring Valley Wisconsin

Today I take a break from cooking to join my family on a Homeschooling field trip to Crystal Cave, located in Spring Valley, Wisconsin.

Crystal Cave is Wisconsin's longest cave. We took a guided tour that took us more than 70 feet underground. We learned about the history and geology of Crystal Cave, which was formed 485 million years ago.

The commonly accepted theory of the cave's formation is that it was formed by a weak carbonic acid solution formed from rainwater and snowmelt that mixed with biogenic carbon dioxide found in the topsoil, which then infiltrated existing joints and fractures in the bedrock, expanding them into the openings that make up the cave's passageways.

Come join my family and I as we explore Crystal Cave. Watch my video below.
