There are countless destinations and experiences that belong on your bucket list - and we're just talking about the places here in Kentucky! Our beautiful state has natural wonders and significant sights for every level of adventurer, but there are a handful that are worthy of a visit from every single Kentuckian. One of these adventures is a visit to our beloved Mammoth Cave National Park. We are so lucky to have this massive, historic park that offers natural beauty both above and below the ground. If you have yet to take this epic cave tour in Kentucky, it may be time to move it to the top of your bucket list.

Mammoth Cave National Park is a treasure in the state of Kentucky and truly for the entire country.

As the longest cave system in the world, there's plenty to explore here and hundreds of thousands of visitors arrive each year for a bit of adventure. The park is currently open and welcoming guests now, while taking necessary precautions and changing the tour schedule up a bit.

Currently Mammoth Cave is offering the Extended Historic tour, which has been changed to a self-guided experience.

Advanced reservations are highly recommended and you can do so through the link provided below. Since many times do sell out and space is limited, you'll want to plan ahead.

The tour begins and ends at the Historic Entrance, one of the most photographed spots in the state and shown in the image above.

Even though it is a self-guided tour, there will be staff stationed around to answer any questions and give you information about the cave. The park does ask that visitors wear a mask while touring the cave and in any other area where social distancing is not possible.

During this cave tour in Kentucky, you'll get to visit many of the most popular sites.

These features include the Rotunda, Rainesque Hall, Methodist Church, a historic salt peter mining site at Booth's Amphitheatre, Giant's Coffin, and a mid-19th century stone built hut used for treating Tuberculosis. It may be the only tour offered right now, but you'll still get to experience so much of this massive cave system.

If you choose to wait to mark this adventure off of your bucket list, rest assured that the park is working hard on improvements to make visits even more comfortable.

Here you can see a construction crew working on preparing the Grand Central Station area for benches.

The underground cave tours are the most popular feature in the park, but Mammoth Cave also offers beautiful hiking trails aboveground.

Be sure to stop by the Visitor's Center for a trail map or research before a visit to pick out a trail or two to try.

Several miles of the Green River also flow through the park, so you may decide to add some time on the water to your visit.
