Ohio Caverns, West Liberty, Ohio

Ohio Caverns is the largest caverns in Ohio and has some amazing formations. Path of the tour is narrow hence no strollers or wheelchairs. Entry to the cavern is easy but before exiting the cavern, guests have to climb around 60 stairs.

It takes around 2hrs to reach this place from downtown Cincinnati. I should say that this place is amazing and worth a visit. I love the fact that people are trying hard to preserve this place. The sight of crystal formation in floodlights is beautiful. If you are anywhere near Cincinnati or Dayton or Columbus, try visiting this place once. The temperature remains around 57°F throughout the year so better bring a jacket. Even though the guided tour is around an hour, there are lots of things to do. It is a good picnic spot so bring along food, play some games and have fun.
