“Hidden for 10,000 years”
Hidden for 10,000 years, Inner Space Cavern is one of the best preserved caves in Texas and one of the few places where remains of prehistoric animals were unearthed. Inner Space Cavern was discovered by a Texas Highway Department core drilling team in the Spring of 1963. While drilling through 40 feet of solid limestone, the bit broke into what is now known as Inner Space Cavern. An adventurous employee of the highway department was lowered into the hole while standing on the drill bit and holding tightly to the stem. He was the first human being to enter INNER SPACE. What an exciting voyage this must have been! Hidden for 10,000 years, Inner Space Cavern is one of the best preserved caves in Texas and one of the few places where remains of prehistoric animals were unearthed.
This was pretty cool to go and see! I went with my in-laws and we had a bunch of fun. You DO have to take a guided tour in able to go down into the caverns...and that did get a little boring..but when we were returning back to the surface we ended up getting a little ahead of the tour guide and we were able to take a few more pictures and poke around a little bit :] They even offer "spelunking" lol and will let you take a tour and go crawling through some of the cavern.
We had a great guide, Christina, that gave an enlightening tour filled with some amusing jokes and some very bad puns. The standard tour provides good exercise over the 1.2 miles. Tour is reasonably prices at $19.95 and starting every 20 minutes. There were several stops where I had time to get some good pictures.
