Florida Caverns has extraordinary formations of stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, columns, rimstone pools, and draperies. The visitor Center contains a small museum focussing on the history of the park and the caves. A film offers visitors a glimpse of the wonders that await them on the tour. It runs continually throughout the day.
The State Park contains numerous caves, but Florida Cavern is the only developed show cave in the park. Florida Park Service permits are required to enter any other caves in the park. Some are open for scientific research only, visitors are asked to respect the off-limits status of these caves. During summer there are flashlight tours into one of those caves, but there is only one tour every week.
