It is a cool experience to zip line underground in real caves but it was fairly pricey for what you actually got. It took us 2 hours to complete the tour with really only a few minutes total of actual ziplining...we spent WAY too much time waiting...our group had too many people in it and it took a long time...

We had two people cancel from our group of five. We asked the employees and management if the two who cancelled could use theirs another day. Maybe they've needed to deal with clients disappointment regarding rescheduling before, but they were more than unaccommodating/ boarding on outright rude from the get go. We go to zipline, and have a good time....... More

My husband and I took our five and almost 3 year old on this tour last fall and they had a really good time. It was very informative and lasted longer than I expected it to. Be sure to potty before you get on the tram if u have little ones. It was a neat experience and our guide was... More

The tram tour was relaxing, informative, and surprisingly more fun than I would have imagine. It's relatively cool which means you should dress in layers no matter the weather outside. Really good for any age and a great way to use up a couple hours of time while in Louisville. Plan to come back again when I happen to be... More

Wow this was a fantastic adventure. We took our archers there while we were in Kentucky for a National archery shoot. Some of them had been there before and others it was out first time. But when we go back next year we will do it again! The zips make it fun but Greg and Katie make the lines worth... More

The Cavern's time has been a long time coming. The Christmas light show is tremendous, and there are now in-cavern zip line tours. They're making the most of this place.

Took our 5 year old and he loved it. I went back and did the zipline tour which is awesome! It's 58 degrees so dress appropriately.

The tram ride was very informative and enjoyable for me and my 10 year old. My 14 year old and partner went on the zipline but they were not overly impressed. The last two zip lines were the only ones that were remotely thrilling. Theys said the darkness takes away your depth perception so it was not as thrilling as... More
