Lovely experience. Must-see place. Natural wonder. Rich history and plenty to learn for both kids n adults. Ample parking. Helpful staff, especially Ocean. Headsets provided for self-operated history lessons. The cave is naturally cooler and the outside world is warmer, especially after climbing a lot of stairs outwards. There is a separate exit for people who don't want to climb those steep stairs. It was a short cardio exercise for an unfit person like me :) There is a short bush walk from the exit of cave back to the reception which crosses the main road, so need to be careful. Plenty of souvenirs available. We will try the other caves next time.

We had a great day exploring both caves. The guided tour was amazing and the guide very knowledgeable. The self guided tour at Mammoth caves was very good as well. How lucky are we to be able to explore these caves as they are now - great experience

Hi, The cave is magnificent. Audio great. My wife and I. 75 and 73. Found the final 160 steps challenging with 4 brief stops needed to catch our breath. A gentleman we had to overtake was struggling. !!!! His son, 45 ish. Was very concerned. !!!!! I suggest a return to the start before 160 steps be available for very vulnerable customers. If not a STRONG WARNING. On line or before starting.

Mammoth Cave was an amazing! We had a mixed bag with grandad, parents and kids attending. The stairs were a little hard on grandad but not too bad. Going early was definitely key because there were less people as you have to double back at the end and the walkways are narrow to pass others. The cave system was stunning and worth the experience.

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!

Was very nostalgic for me and watching how much my child loved it made my heart sing. I didn't use the headphones as I felt it took away from my own experience, but it didn't diminish it because my 7 year old listened and relayed very enthusiastically the details of the recordings. We can't wait to explore the others
