Mammoth Caves
tips & insights


When to visit
Mammoth Caves

The best time to visit is spring (after the snow melts) and fall. In summer, temperatures soar. So do crowds, to the point where tours can quickly sell out.


Guided cave tours

You have a choice of tours, ranging from easy to expert.

Very easy
The easiest tour is well lit, has strategically placed handrails, and lasts a little over an hour.
Reasonably easy
The next tour is a little harder and longer, but you see Mammoth Dome, a massive cavernous room measuring 58 meters (192 feet) from floor to ceiling.
Difficult
The National Park Service offers experienced cavers a six-hour Wild Cave Tour. You don helmets, knee pads and other spelunking gear to explore unlit pathless areas. Sometimes you need to squeeze through tight passages and muddy crawlspaces.
