Olentangy Indian Caverns in Delaware, OH

By on September 11, 2011 in Birthday Planning, Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

I hadn’t been to the Olentangy Indian Caverns since a 4th or 5th grade field trip, and remember being impressed. As an adult, the visit was even better.  A friend and I recently took our kiddies, and found there was much more to do than squeezing our bodies through underground rock formations.
