Any of the tours are well worth the cost, and I advise taking as many tours as possible for a fuller view of the cave's magnificent features.
Yes. There are lights on all of the tour routes. The tour guides turn them on and off as a tour moves along a route.
Stephen Bishop was slave guide who discovered more than 20 miles of Mammoth cave.
There is an element of danger in any cave, however slight the probability of the occurence. Lights can go out, surfaces can be slippery, roofs cave in, and so on. But on the whole, a guided tour of Mammoth Cave is quite safe.
no they tell you if you taking a tour to specifically not take any rocky or animals out of the cave
Cave tours at Mammoth Cave typically start at various times throughout the day, depending on the specific tour. Most tours generally begin in the morning and continue into the afternoon, with specific departure times often listed on the park's official website. It's advisable to check the schedule in advance, especially during peak seasons, as tours can fill up quickly.
According to the NPS Brochure, there are age limits on only three of their tours: Grand Avenue Tour, Introduction to Caving, and Wild Cave Tour. Other than these restrictions for safety, any person of any age can take a tour. Note that anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult who agrees to take responsibility for the behavior of that (legal) child or adolescent.
The time it takes to walk through Mammoth Cave varies depending on the chosen tour. Shorter tours can last about 1.5 to 2 hours, while more extensive tours may take up to 6 hours or more. Factors such as the specific route, the size of the group, and individual pace can also influence the overall duration. It's best to check the schedule for specific tour lengths when planning your visit.
