Louisville Mega Cavern

A good time was had! Even with my fear of heights, we braved the indoor ziplining. There were one or two drop points that straight up looked like a bottomless pit in the underworld--definitely took me a minute to psych myself up for--but the staff was super patient and funny about it, and my group lovingly hyped me up.The waiting/lobby area has a few different activities, like a hurricane wind simulator. We hung out at big community tables, playing Heads Up from my phone and subtly adding sports broadcaster commentary to the open rope climbing course. So time went by fast enough. Overall, solid and unique experience--family-friendly, but also a fun way to push yourself if heights aren't your thing. It felt like a silly little win.

I have been here twice. Once for the climbing corse for my daughter's birthday. We had a great time and ended up stopping before our time was up because we were wore out from climbing. It also includes a couple of small zip lines which were our favorite. We hope to try their actual zip line one day. We also did the Lighters Under Louisville. It was fun, but very Cheesy. It is something we were glad we did, but wouldn't want to do for probably another 5 years. It was similar to every other drive through light show just under ground.

Christmas lightsWe took my kids to see the lights under the city and it was a great experience! We went on a weekend in the afternoon and there was no wait. We paid at the entrance and then provided to drive thru the displays. The displays were creative and had many themes. They had music playing. It was great to be able to roll down the windows and enjoy the experience without getting cold. It took about a half hour to complete.

Stunning Christmas Lights!!! Love that we should go during the day because it's in the caves! We went on Christmas Eve at 10am and they had no line! We have gone before a few years back and I loved everything new they added!!

Ease of getting tickets and access.I had been on this tour many years ago so decided to take my brother in laws there.All was good except the tour was short and not that impressive. When I first went tour was 1 1/2 hours long and more detail. I was not that impressed with it at all.Staff were nice, friendly and helpful.

We had planned to go to the Falls of the Ohio State Park but it was too hot to be outside (mid 30s, Celsius) so we booked a walking tour of Louisville Mega Cavern, as it was underground, and a temperature of 15C was very appealing. Tickets were $20US and we were able to book tickets the morning of.The Mega Cavern is a limestone cavern, mined for over 40 years between the 1930s and 1970s. It's approximately 100 acres and spans under the Louisville Zoo, and due to the mine's support structures, it's classified as a building, and is thus the largest building in Kentucky.The 70 minute tour wasn't overly exciting, and in fact the holiday/Christmas lights, while pretty, were a little cheesy, but it was 70 minutes of comfort in the cool cavern. I wouldn't say the Mega Cavern is a must-see attraction, but if it's a hot day, it's a good place to get a reprieve from the heat. And we had a tour guide who was entertaining and knowledgable.In addition to walking tours, the Mega Cavern also offers a tram tour and ziplining.[Yelp collections: Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023]

This year is better than ever! The decorating is amazing. We were impressed by all of the details! We went early on Christmas Eve and the line was very short. The $8 off coupon made it more reasonable. I highly recommend it! Tips: Plan to ride with your windows open so wear a jacket. It's cool in the cave.

A really cool concept - rope courses inside a (mining) cave. We did the basic one, so the review is on the basic one where you could see the entire rope course at the ticket sales table. I think for someone who hasn't done rope course or for younger kids, this may be appropriate. Since we, including my 7-year-old, have done a few outdoor, bigger and higher, rope courses, this seem a bit easy and small.I appreciate the double carabiners safety devices and measure they have in place there. All staff are really friendly and helpful.

The Mega Cavern Christmas show was spectacular as always. For first time rode the tram train through it instead of driving. If you choose this route, come a half hour early.Took more pictures than I can post. It had several themes from super hero's to movies. Enjoyed the disco balls which brought back memories. The kids loved it and reacted to most of it. The hour ride was a fun and relaxing experience. We went today and crowd was light like I like it.The parking is free and the memories are forever. Highly recommend.

My friend and I took our daughters to do the ropes course but the staff was rude. They were not helpful to our two little ones.
