Cathedral Caverns State Park is located
in Alabama just minutes for the town of Grant. The park has a
well-deserved national reputation as one of the best scenic attractions
in the American South.
Cathedral Caverns are home to flowstone walls, stalagmite forests
and Goliath, one of the world's largest stalagmites, a column
that reaches the ceiling of the cave 45 feet over-head. Even the
opening to the cave itself is impressive, measuring a massive
126 feet wide and 25 feet high. Inside the caverns are roughly
4,000 feet long and feature 8-foot wide, wheelchair-accessible,
concrete walkways. Visitors can marvel at fantastic rock formations
like Big Rock Canyon, Mystery River, Stalagmite Mountain and The
Frozen Waterfall.
Cathedral Caverns State Park is open 7 days a week from 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m., with guided tours available every hour. The cave
maintains a comfortable 60-degree temperature all year round,
so visitors are welcome at any time.
Admission is $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for children ages 6-12.
Kids 5 and under get in free of charge.
