Hidden River Cave & American Cave Museum - World's largest underground suspension bridge

Hidden River Cave & American Cave Museum

For the last couple years my wife and I have taken to doing cave tours. We've done several in the…read morearea and only made it to Hidden River Cave & American Cave Museum recently. Unlike some cave attractions, you have to make a reservation to visit Hidden River. It's easy via their website. Once you arrive you can check in at the desk and then tour the museum and gift shop before your cave tour begins. The museum is self-guided and is two stories' worth of exhibits. There's a staircase that takes you down to the lower level where you'll find just as many exhibits as their is on the main floor. Everything is presented nicely, well lit, and informative. Shortly before your tour begins your tour guide will introduce himself, give you a brief overview of the cave, and then do a Q&A before heading to the cave entrance. This cave tour begins by descending some steps. A Lot of steps. The opening is very impressive, and as you ascend you can feel the temperature drop. A brief pause at the bottom of the steps and our tour guide pointed out some of the machinery left over from various uses of the cave in the past. Then it's into the cave. I love cave tours because it puts you in a place that's nothing but history. They're made by nature, often hidden for centuries, and, for all intents and purposes, somewhere that man isn't really intended to go...but we're Mankind and we do that kind of thing. Once inside the cave there are areas that are expansive and areas that are terrifically narrow. I love large, open spaces underground. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that your anywhere from 50 to over 100 feet below surface. In a fashion, it's a bit humbling. At the same time, you have to remind yourself that you're actually below a downtown area. The suspended bridge was definitely a highlight of this cave tour. Cleverly designed and installed, I'd almost consider an underground wonder. A little further along you come to the Sunset Dome, and the farther point of your tour. The Sunset Dome is a beautiful space. I just had to stop and listen to the silence. Nothing but silence, running was from an underground steam, and the occasional drop of water from above (a cave kiss). If only the others on our tour would have been to appreciate it more. After the Sunset Dome you hit rewind and head back along the same path you just took on the way in. Back cross the suspended bridge. Then back to the bottom of the staircase....which you now need to walk up. And there are A LOT of stairs. It was tough, I'm not going to lie. I'm in pretty good shape and I had to stop twice on the way up. Once you're up to the top you have a chance to visit the gift shop again and purchase a souvenir or two. I don't recall our tour guide's name, but he was pretty good. He did spent a fair amount of time patting himself on the back, stating at least 4 times that how long he'd been doing these tours and how he considered himself an expert. Weird flex, but ok. It was still a good tour and I'm glad we were finally able to get to Hidden River Cave.

Awesome tour!!! We had the pleasure of having Al (AL is his name...he's not AI lol) as our tour…read moreguide. Very informative and kept the group uplifted and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour but be aware that there are MANY steps on this tour so wear comfortable shoes.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park - 08.29.25 Memorial Building

Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace is one of the smaller sights managed by the National Park Service but…read moreI highly recommend it. The administration building has a lot of historical facts about President Lincoln that are very interesting! The memorial building contains a log cabin similar to what President Lincoln was born in. There are many steps up to the memorial, but this memorial is handicap accessible if you take the ramp feature to the right of the administrative building! It's a short trip from Bowling Green, where I stayed and I highly recommend it. To the left adjacent to memorial is a building named Nancy Lincoln Inn but it is on private property and you cannot visit it. There is a marker for it though! I would highly recommend. It's a great memorial to arguably one of our best presidents!

Admission is free for all visitors [Hodgenville KY]…read more We arrived at the last hour before closing but the Memorial Building at the Birthplace Unit closed 30 mins sooner at 4:30p so we headed up there first. This was the symbolic cabin representing Lincoln's birthplace nicely preserved inside a memorial building. Abraham Lincoln was born in a single-room log cabin at the Sinking Spring Farm in LaRue County KY. One hour was good seeing what's there including the Sinking Spring, water source for the Lincoln family and some short trails. In our case we just wanted to view the cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born so we only spent maybe 30 mins at the park. The grounds are nice and well-kept. Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. Review #3922
