Prehistoric Texas Cave Formed by an Earthquake | Wonder World Cave (San Marcos, TX)

Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park, a natural theme park located in San Marcos, Texas, has a rich history that dates back to its discovery in 1893 and is Texas' first-ever show cave. Wonder Cave, the primary attraction of the park, is an ancient earthquake cave and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.

Wonder World Cave is also home to a wildlife park accessed via train ride and a classic anti-gravity house.
