Kentucky Cave Tours

Our historic cave tour will take you through one of Kentucky’s largest and most scenic cave entrances where two subterranean rivers flow over one-hundred feet below ground. Walk across the world’s longest underground swinging bridge and step up into Sunset Dome, one of the largest free-standing cave domes in the United States.

You’ll pass the remnants of a turn-of-the-century hydroelectric generating system that once supplied the town overhead with water & electricity and explore areas with seldom seen creatures that live in the darkness underground.

American Cave Museum

American Cave Museum

The American Cave Museum has been called “a little bit of the Smithsonian in rural Kentucky.” Discover the history and science of America’s natural caverns through educational and informative exhibits.

Admission to the museum is FREE for all ages! Take a self-guided tour of two floors featuring exhibits on karst geology, groundwater, archaeology and the many uses of caves. Your admission also allows you to explore the nature area in the cave entrance and ends at the cave’s observation overlook.

Your visit to Kentucky Cave Country will not be complete without an in-depth look at the fascinating world of caves.
