If you are looking for an amazing weekend in the outdoors doing all your favourite things like exploring underground caves, then a trip to Mammoth Cave is for you. But what is even better is that you won’t just be exploring Cave Island or the Sand Cave. You’ll also have the chance to be in awe of the other natural wonders of Mammoth Cave including Cedar Sink, the River Styx Spring, Cathedral Domes, and the Frozen Niagara. Instead of just spelunking through the Rotunda, you’ll also be canoeing near Turnhole Bend and letting the frogs serenade you at Sloan’s Crossing Pond. There is so much to explore at this place, there is no way you’ll be done in just one day. Plus, you can check out nearby Cave City for even more things to do.
