Cascade Caverns is the oldest public touring cave in Texas. The Lipan Apache people discovered the cave in the 1700s and left artifacts that are still visible, local youth rediscovered it in the 1840s, it became the first private-touring cave in Texas in the 1870s, and it opened to the public in 1932. Guided tours pass dripstone and flowstone formations, including stalactites, stalagmites and draperies that grew over millions of years. The history and geology make it a solid outing for families and curious explorers.
