Inner Space Cavern, Georgetown
Discovered during the construction of
the interstate, this cave is a cool getaway for summer travelers
and was once a hideaway for animals as well. A skull of a peccary
(a pig-like hoofed mammal) estimated to be a million years old has
been found here, along with bones of a giant sloth and a mammoth.
You'll find displays on some of the artifacts found during the exploration
of the cave in the lobby.
After reaching cave level aboard a small
trolley, follow your guide for a tour of cave formations, a small
lake, and evidence of those prehistoric visitors.
Inner Space recently opened a new section
of the cave; visitors can see it on the special Explorers’
Tour. You’ll enter the new section and see it from the vantage
point of an early explorer, illuminated only by flashlight then
later by lights.
Kids also enjoy the Inner Space Mining Company with the chance to
pan for gems and minerals.
