Gigantic cave. A number of historical traces, from graffiti to saltpetre mining in the cave, but few stalactites. If you want to see stalactites, you should rather visit the Carlsbad Caverns.

The Historic Entrance of Mammoth Caves has been open to the surface for thousands of years, and there is evidence of prehistoric people using this opening for shelter and to gather resources. The area is free to the public, and extends roughly 300 feet into the cave. You will need to descend around 65 stairs in order to access the cave. The area can be very popular in the summer, so there may be a wait in order to enter the cave.

Surrounding the Mammoth Caves visitor center, the park offers a number of hiking trails and overlooks. There are also numerous sinkholes and cave openings that you can see from the trails.

Mammoth Dome Sink is a sinkhole located just off of the Sinkhole Trail at Mammoth Cave Visitor Center. The bottom of the sinkhole corresponds with the roof of one of the underground domes within Mammoth Caves.

Scenic view overlooking the Green River. The viewpoint is completely wheelchair accessible from the Heritage Trail, and is only half a mile from the Mammoth Caves Visitor Center parking area.

The Old Guide's Cemetery is one of around 80 cemeteries within the national park. The cemetery is best known as the resting place of Stephen Bishop. Bishop was a guide at Mammoth Caves for over 20 years, starting in 1838.

This scenic lookout is named after the Doyel family, who owned large parts of the area before it became a national park. You can find great views of the rolling hills and valleys.

Sloan's Crossing Pond was formed by a sinkhole which has been filled in over decades to form the pond. The small body of water is encircled by a wide wooden boardwalk, making it accessible for prams and wheelchairs. You can see an abundance of wildlife at any time of the year, although summer would be the peak time for viewing.
