If you're looking for something to do this summer that's different than your average water park, this fits the bill.
You know what’s a cool place to visit, even during a record-setting heat wave? A cave. Alabama has a few to choose from.
Truth be told, Alabama has a lot of caves. Many are well-known to cavers but are on private property and aren’t open as public attractions. Some that once offered public access have changed hands and closed. Many require the ability and equipment to navigate vertical passages, meaning they’re inaccessible and/or dangerous to casual sightseers.
This list focuses on caves that are open and accessible to the public to some extent. Among those that are open for tours, highlights include average year-round temperatures in the neighborhood of 60 degrees.We might as well cover this one first, because a lot of you have grown up with the name “DeSoto Caverns” and the ink is still wet on the name change. Operators say the transition was in works for five years or more and was motivated by a range of concerns, some of which were spiritual.
