Absolutely loved visiting Mammoth Cave! It was such a unique experience and honestly so interesting seeing everything inside the cave. The walk through was beautiful, and learning about the history and how the cave was formed made it even more enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting if you’re down south — I’d highly recommend it!

A seriously beautiful tour with our very knowledgeable guide. While some baulk at the stairs, it is doable if you take your time on the ascent. Going down was actually quite doable. Coming back up ((once through the cave gate) you can take your time. It took me about 15 minutes in the end.

Visited Lake Cave and Mammoth Cave recently and both were absolutely worth the trip. The walks do include quite a few stairs so be prepared for a bit of a work out, but it’s well worth the effort for the chance to experience these incredible caves up close.
