Cave City is a place that brings out the nostalgia for so many Kentuckians. Maybe it was memories of your first experience inside Mammoth Cave National Park, first horseback ride, first encounter with a giant dinosaur, or first canoe trip! Honestly, Cave City truly makes us all feel like a kid again.
Cave City is easy to find, exit 53 off Interstate 65. And right off the exit, you’ll find a GIGANTIC dinosaur. Let it guide your way and start your adventures!
As a decades-old gateway to Mammoth Cave National Park, this fun town is a mix of mid-century nostalgia and innovative new businesses.
There’s so much to do, we can’t wait to see what you choose.
