And of course a trip to the cave is not complete without rock candy which is handmade.

Heather, who works in the gift shop is the most shining example of this. She could not possibly be more helpful or more friendly. I highly recommend that you make this your first stop when visiting Henderson and hope Heather is working the day you do.

One of the highlights of my visit to Bowling Green was Dr. Smith's Spooky Stories tour!…read more While other ghost tours lean heavily on ancient legends and lore, Dr. Smith's tour features contemporary accounts of haunted happenings around the Western Kentucky University campus taken from the hundreds of interviews she's conducted with living witnesses. Knowing that ghostly sightings have taken place and have been documented recently adds to the thrill of this fantastic tour. Dr. Smith's grasp on the history of the region is fantastic, and her storytelling abilities are unmatched. I look forward to another tour with Dr. Smith's Spooky Stories the next time I'm in the area!

I've been on several ghost tours at other places, and what's…read moreamazing about this tour is that Dr. Smith has done her own research of conducting hundreds of interviews to gather the stories of all the spooky activity that has taken place on the campus. The cool thing is that a lot of her stories are recent examples from the past 8 years, which makes it even spookier! Western Kentucky is a gorgeous campus so this tour is full of beautiful views, history and great storytelling. Dr. Smith is amazing, and I can't recommend her enough when visiting Bowling Green.

So on our Anniversary Eve I told her what time we needed to get up and what time we needed to leave to make the drive from Louisville to the park. She had no idea where we were going. When we pulled in to the parking lot she said "Well, this looks fun!". We were fortunate enough to arrive about 10:45 am and were the last two booked for the 11:00 tour. The entre fee is around $25 per person, but being a Veteran I was able to get a $4 discount (I'm also told that the Veteran discount is the only discount they offer any more). The tour starts with a walk down a hill that I couldn't help but think would be GREAT on a sled in the winter. It's a helluva walk (both down and up), but VERY scenic. As you descend you can feel the air cool. On a 90° degree day it felt REALLY nice. Once you're down to the bottom you board a boat and start the tour. Sam was our tour guide and he was Most Excellent. Sam has been doing tours at Bluespring Cavern for about 9 years and he shared all kind of facts and trivia during out tour. As I recall our tour was about 5/8 of a mile at a very leisurely pace. Caverns are such amazing, wonderful places. They're their own little, secret underground world. No matter how many I my brain goes into overdrive trying to imagine how it was hundreds/thousands of years ago, how incredibly still and quiet it must be when empty, and how completely isolating they can be. Sam educated us as we went along and entered different "rooms" in the cavern, giving us history and safety tips (DO NOT drink the water) along the way. We even got to see a few bats on our journey. Our boat tour got over a lot sooner than I expected, then it was time to walk back up the hill I think it'd be a blast to sled down. No worries, I'm in pretty good shape. A quick visit to the gift shop and we were on our way. (I added another shot glass to my collection of over 700). We did the boat tour, but they also offer kayak tours and have an overnight room where groups can actually sleep overnight in the cavern. That would be SO freakin' cool! The staff was friendly and funny, the tour was great, and the gift shop wasn't overdone or kitschy. Bluespring Caverns is SUCH a cool place, and we will absolutely visit again.

Also, unlike the national park, Diamond Caverns is first-come first-served with no reservations. I just visited the area for the second time, this time we had a lot of family members including small children. We did the early morning Mammoth Cave beginner-level tour and then went straight over to Diamond Caverns for their tour. Everything else in the national park was sold out for the day, but we went straight onto a Diamond Cavern tour with no wait and a group of 14 of us. The tour guide was very patient with the bunch of small children in our group. Overall, I highly recommend Diamond Caverns if you are in the area and interested in taking an hour-long tour that includes a lot of steps to get up and down to/from the caverns. There is some neat local history included as well. There's a full gift shop with beverages and restrooms available on site. No food, drinks, or bags of any kind are allowed in the caverns.

The stain glass windows tell of the B-attitudes. The Monks prayer chapel has all 12 zodiac constellation on the ceiling so they can "pray all night long." The list goes on, of lovely things to see. Set your fit bit and stroll for about 3,000 steps. We ended our tour with a quick prayer and a final note, "Let's all agree to meet again in Heaven, but not too soon." Have fun everyone. HINT: They are on Central Time here!! I totally forgot about the time difference. Hope this info helps someone. Hint: Good news if you have and electric car. They have a charging station in the guest parking area.
