When was the last time you took a walk on the wild side? It's something we all need to do a bit more of, we say. And there's a Kentucky adventure park where you can embrace the wild and wonderful world, while coming face-to-face with some of the planet's most marvelous creatures! Come with us on a Kentucky little adventure down under...
When was the last time you experienced total awe and wonder?
Or laughed so hard you couldn't stop?
Or hugged a horse?
(Okay, maybe you did that recently, because, Kentucky.)
Kentucky Down Under is a unique attraction in Cave City that's home to an incredible mix of exotic animals from around the world...
...and barnyard animals you likely see daily in the Bluegrass State!
You know you've arrived someplace special and, dare we say, wild, before you even enter Kentucky Down Under, because you'll be greeted by some larger-than-life mascots at the door.
True to its name, you can quite literally venture down under at this Cave City attraction; its Mammoth Onyx Cave is an active cave that's open for exploration. Guide-led tours last 30 minutes and teach visitors all about cave history, features, and the importance of protecting these amazing Kentucky underworlds.
And this lesson of conservation is a theme at Kentucky Down Under.
The animal encounters are what really set this place apart, and these experience provide hands-on lessons for kids that make the natural world real, accessible, and meaningful.
And these aren't your standard "animal encounters" either. Because really, where else in Kentucky can you actually pet a crocodile or get to high-five a kangaroo?
Though if petting a crocodile doesn't sound like your cup of tea, perhaps this guy is more your speed. There's something for everyone here!
Have you ever visited Kentucky Down Under? If so, tell us about the most epic animal encounters you had there. Learn more and plan a trip to this wild adventure park on the Kentucky Down Under website.
