Short Drive for a Fantastic Adventure


A short drive north of the city limits will bring you to a world away from the hum drum of graduate school. It is not too often one can find a nearby place to go to simply sit back and enjoy a relaxing ride through a majestic series of underworld artistry. In fact there is only one place in America, it happens to be right here in Springfield at "Fantastic Caverns".
Our family finally decided to see just how fantastic this cavern really was and to our surprise we loved the adventure. For a wonderful 40 minute tour we entered a massive cavern carried on a red Jeep drawn tram. We learned the extrodinary history of the cave and many scientific facts regarding cave formations. We truly enjoyed our relaxing tour of Fantastic Caverns so much that we paid the additional $5 to upgrade our single tour ticket to an annual pass. Well worth the money.

Hello. This may sound strange, but my husband is going to be attending FIPP this fall. I was googling Forrest Institute and happened upon your site. We're from UT and are LDS as well, and will be moving to Nixa in August. We would love to hear about your experiences there, and if we could possibly be in the same ward? I believe we're in the Springfield 3rd ward. Anyway, I just thought it was funny I happened upon a fellow FIPP that is LDS. Good luck with your schooling and all that goes with it!
