    A lovely, refreshing break in the middle of summer, in a natural setting 👍 With the option to have a snack on site.

    Quite pretty, but I especially recommend going with children; the shows are more geared towards little ones, which isn't mentioned in the description. The 45-minute visit goes by too quickly, and it's a shame we don't learn the history of the cave, how long it's existed, etc.
