Top Caves Underground Places in Kentucky

Pack a light jacket, even in summer! The cave can be chilly, and I wished I had one for my visit.

I recommend bringing a water bottle and snacks. There are not many places to grab a bite inside the park, and I was starving after the tour.

My advice is to bring some snacks. The food options inside are kind of limited and pricey, so having your own snacks can help save some cash.

Check the weather beforehand. If it’s rainy, the cave might have reduced access, so a sunny day can make your visit way more enjoyable!

If you're planning to go on a weekend, try to arrive right when they open at 9 AM. The crowds build up quickly, and you'll get a more personal experience with fewer people around.

Don't forget to bring a flashlight! The lighting in some areas can be dim and having your own light helps you enjoy the details better.

I suggest wearing sturdy shoes; the terrain can get slippery and uneven inside the cave. I learned the hard way when I slipped a couple of times!

I recommend buying your tickets online ahead of time to avoid waiting in line when you arrive. It saved me a lot of time on my visit!
