Mammoth Cave
It's extensive as far as caves go, but not for everyone due to the tight spaces and lots of climbing. Reserve tickets online; the date I was there, in early August, tickets were sold out completely over a week in advance.
[Clark W, 08/07/2021]Post office closes at 2 PM, be sure to write your address on the postcards! The Postmaster said many folks forget and those poor dead letters go to Atlanta instead of to loved ones.
[David Sherman, 06/20/2018]Did the self-guided tour for $5/adult and $3.50/kid. Beautiful place and with the self guided tour, you can be in and out in under an hour.

We took the Gothic Avenue tour and it was amazing. There were a few steps, but not a strenuous cave to go through. The tour took about an hour and a half, so we had plenty of time to see other sights in Cave City.
