MAMMOTH CAVE NATIONAL PARK TOURS

Early guide Stephen Bishop called the cave a "grand, gloomy and peculiar place," but its vast chambers and complex labyrinths have earned it the name Mammoth. The park offers a variety of cave tours daily (except Christmas Day). All tours begin and end at the visitor center. Tours range from easy to difficult and may last anywhere from one to six hours. Cave trails and walkways may have electric lights or may be rugged, pitch-dark paths that require visitors to carry a lantern. Take a little time to ensure the activity you choose is the best one for you. Each tour is fascinating in its own way and shows off the various sections of the caves. Tour highlights include the Rainbow Dome, the Snowball Room, Crystal Lake and the Bottomless Pit. The park also offers free programs on the surface that do not require reservations. Please visit the park website for the current schedule. Summary of Fees - Mammoth Cave National Park Tours.
