My family and I went to Mammoth cave in June and boy was it a relief from the heat! We took the Historic Tour which lasted 2 hours and is 2 hours long. This was a very neat tour the tour guide was great she did an excellent job in telling about the history of this huge cave. I will... more

Took the frozen Niagara tour. A great cave to see and experience. More about size than detail however, so dont expect dazzling cave features, like many formations. Really historic place. I would recommend stopping by Sand Cave, the one where Floyd Collins got stuck and died, that was really cool, especially getting off the new boardwalk and getting up close.... more

I would recommend taking the shorter 2 hour tours. Niagara Falls was cool, but after 4 hours of hiking through a pretty monotonous cave, I just wanted out into the daylight! The tour guide was marginal at best. FYI. You can take sandwiches and fruit in for lunch, just put it in a plastic Ziploc bag. The lunch provided was... more

The cave is a national treasure and can be a wonderful learning experience for children (7-12.) Very young children might be frightened on a trip where they turn out all the lights to demonstrate total darkness. Advance planning is a must! Be sure to drive carefully and observe the posted speed limits. more

We took two tours on a Saturday in July. I booked them on-line two weeks in advance. We took the New Entrance tour in the morning and the Star Chamber tour in the evening. I am so glad I booked them in advance - the visitor center was a mad house. At 10 am most tours were sold out for... more

We just returned from a week in Kentucky and Mammoth Cave was certainly one of the highlights. We found the staff to be very helpful and the cave to absolutely amazing. We did two tours. One we booked several weeks in advance to insure we were on the trips that we wanted. Our daughters (9 and 11) went on the... more

After waiting an hour, our 11:30 am tour which we'd booked online was changed to 11:45 am. There was no assigned tour guide for our trip; the fill-in person never introduced themselves, announced themselves or described the tour. Whomever made the schedule, did not have a person assigned to our tour. With four tours leaving from the platform we were... more

My husband and 2 children, 9 & 12 just got home from Mammoth Caves. The tours are awesome and the guides make you feel very safe, while in the caves. There were a few things that we were unaware of before going on our tour that I thought might be helpful for you. When we reached the visitors center there... more

We booked in advance which was smart as when we got there it was sold out. Our tour started with the guide's speech before we boarded on the buses taking us to the new entrance. Our guide was great, he provided a lot of useful historic information while keeping it light and funny. The tour is roughly 2 hours including... more
