The guide will be pointing to formations inside the cave. The purpose of the visit must be for educational purposes rather than a pure recreational outing. Annual entrance or vacation passes do not provide discounts to the tour cave. At this point there are approximately 30 caves within Florida Caverns State Park. We are not sure how many undiscovered caves we have since they have not been discovered yet.
Bats are active mostly at night when feeding.
During daylight hours and tour times, bats are usually resting in a crevice or somewhere they can be protected. During winter months, bats are usually seen more inside the cave while they are hibernating. It is very important not to disturb bats while resting, especially during winter months. If awakened during winter months, hibernating bats expend valuable energy that they otherwise need to survive. Bats do not usually eat inside the cave.
