Did you know it`s officially been 60 years since Inner Space Cavern was discovered? Hidden for over 10,000 years, a Texas Highway Department core drilling team stumbled upon the cave system in 1963 when a drill bit suddenly dropped 26ft. 🤯
With several tours for every adventure style and a year-round temperature of 72 degrees-- it`s the perfect time to visit and see the wonder for yourself!
