Mammoth Cave is actually about 45 minutes outside of Bowling Green, KY. On our last trip, we stayed in Bowling Green because of the hotels and restaurants. We made a little day trip from Bowling Green to Mammoth Cave. I think if you&#8217;re in the Bowling Green area, Mammoth Cave is worth a visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"> With more than 400 miles of vast chambers and rock tunnels, Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world&#8217;s longest-known cave system.  If you are not a fan of caves, there is plenty to do above ground. The Park is a nature lovers&#8217; dream offering hiking, horseback riding, ziplining, and rock climbing. There is also canoeing and kayaking on the Green and Nolin Rivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pick the right cave tour(s) for you:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Historic Cave Tour<\/strong> &#8211; This tour is 2 miles and lasts 2 hours. There are 540 steps with several inclines (in addition to ascending and descending into the cave). I am old and out-of-shape but I did this tour and lived to tell you about it. It&#8217;s a great tour if you&#8217;re adventurous and you love history. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Domes &amp; Dripstones Tour &#8211; This tour is only 3\/4 mile, but lasts 2 hours. There are several steep inclines that some may find difficult. There are 500 steps, but 280 of those are the ones on the descent into the cave if that helps you decide on taking the tour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frozen Niagara Tour &#8211; This is a short and easy tour. It only consists of 12 steps. You can take about 100 more steps but you don&#8217;t have to -it&#8217;s an optional part of the tour. This is probably the most popular and famous spot on all the tours at Mammoth Cave. It lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes and you travel about 1\/4 mile. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mammoth Passage Tour &#8211; This tour is about 3\/4 mile and lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. It&#8217;s basically 1\/2 of the Historic Tour. The inclines are easy and the cave is HUGE &#8211; think Wide Open Spaces! And, the walkways are broad as well. There are about 130 steps, mostly to enter and leave, but it is an easy tour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gothic Avenue Tour<\/strong>&#8211; This tour is one mile and lasts 2 hours. There are 160 stairs and is considered to be a moderate trail. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaveland Avenue Tour<\/strong> &#8211; This moderate hike is 2 miles and lasts 2 hours. The descent is 200 steps and there is an elevator to exit the cave. If the elevator is not in service, you will backtrack through the cave and exit up the original 200 steps. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grand Avenue Tour<\/strong> &#8211; This is the longest and most difficult tour that is offered at Mammoth Cave National Park. The tour lasts 4 hours, has over 1300 steps, and has steep inclines (as well as the ascent and descent). I recommend this cave for someone with a lot of stamina or someone very athletic.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Read more about the cave tours, and directions, and make reservations <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/maca\/planyourvisit\/cave-tours.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Read about our trip to Mammoth Cave National Park <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/index.php\/2022\/04\/27\/mammoth-cave-national-park-in-bowling-green-kentucky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>HERE.<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Corvettes from every era since 1953 are on display in the nostalgia area. The museum is set up in a way that showcases the different time periods. We walked through a mid-century barbershop, a service station, and a historic race track. I thought this was an excellent and interesting way to display the cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">While visiting, you can learn more about the sinkhole here and even drive a Corvette (see photo above) in a VR-type setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>National Corvette Museum \/\/ 350 Corvette Drive &#8211; Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101 (I-65 Exit 28) \/\/  270-781-7973<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corvettemuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WEBSITE<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
