A bit on the expensive side, and I believe it’s first come, first serve, but it’s a fun place to do mini bowling, grab some food and drinks! They also have pool tables for rent.

This is about a 3hr drive up North, but so worth it! An experience you’ll never forget. The cave is about .75 miles long, and it gets very cold so bring warm clothes and a flashlight!

If you want to rent tubes and have the bus take you to the starting point, it’s about a 45 minute drive to the parking lot/entrance. This can get busy on weekends so plan accordingly. Also, the tubes are black and can get very hot, I recommend buying cheap twin size sheet mattress covers to put over your tube as you go down the river. A lot of people do this and it helps cool it down. PLEASE DO NOT use the sheets from the Airbnb - this will ruin them. You can purchase a cheap set from Walmart for under $10. You can float down the river for 2-3 hours, or more if you prefer. Bring some drinks, snacks, and a hat!

About a 25 minute drive, and SO worth the wait. The baked potato omelette is hands down the best we've ever had. Be sure to check Yelp to see if you can get on a waitlist early - this place gets busy!
