Kartchner Caverns State Park is a beautiful park in Arizona that features a show cave with over 2.4 miles of passage. The park is south of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Visitors can enjoy guided tours that offer an up-close and personal experience of the underground world and its fragile ecosystem. The cave formations, including the stalactites and stalagmites, are still developing, and visitors can witness them growing if they have microscopic vision. In addition to the cave, visitors can check out the Discovery Center, which offers a wealth of information about the cave. Here, visitors can learn about the bat population and the fossils of previous inhabitants. There are interactive exhibits that explain how the cave's formations develop, as well as a multi-screen video that takes visitors on an underground journey. The Discovery Center is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in learning more about the unique geology and ecology of Kartchner Caverns.
