The area also boasts a number of caves such as Diamond Caverns showcasing beautiful limestone rock formations, Great Onyx Cave with huge stalactites, and Hidden River Cave with a museum nearby. For family fun, walk amid life-sized dinosaur statues at Dinosaur World Kentucky or head out for zipline and rock climbing activities at Kentucky Action Park. Amongst the many fun things to do, you can explore the beauty of the Mammoth Park hills and forests in style by kayaking along the Green River.
