We will be in Tuscany the beginning of May and are looking for some things to do that will be interesting to our two teenaged boys. I have read about some amazing caves in northern Tuscany around Lucca. Can anyone tell me anything about them? We will also be staying further south in Tuscany later on and would be interested if there are any in other parts of Tuscany, as well.

The Wind Cave is definitely cool - it is a bit off the beaten path though. Barga is a neat town in the area, and also the Devil's Bridge - a medieval structure

Are they too old for a zoo? The zoo in Pistoia is a good one -
Something else that may be "cool" enough is San Galgano and the sword in the stone:

Thank you! Great ideas! Is Lucca too far away to stay for a trip to these caves? Do we need to stay in Barga or closer to them?

I think Lucca is fine - we did it from Florence and it was a little far. Lucca is much closer -
