Mammoth Cave National Park will temporarily suspend all cave tours and close the Visitor Center until further notice beginning Wednesday, March 18th due to the coronavirus.
Surface activities within the park, such as campgrounds and hiking, equestrian, and biking trails, as well as restrooms adjacent to the visitor center will remain open to the public.
Today, the park will offer an Extended Mammoth Passage tour, rather than the ranger guided tours as a transition to the temporary cave closure.
For questions about refunds for cave tours, contact the park's Fee Office: 270-758-2417

The Friends of Mammoth Cave National Park received a State Farm Good Neighbor Citizenship Education grant of $6,000. The money will be used to partner with the Mammoth Cave National Park Environmental Education (EE) department to promote teacher development through a free overnight teacher workshop in the park on July 9-10.
The workshop will focus on using STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) practices in a hands-on setting. The workshop will include a full two days of lessons as well as teaching materials such as rock and mineral kits for the teachers to take back for use in their classrooms. Participant meals and lodging will be included through the grant from State Farm.
To learn more about the teacher workshop and reserve a space in the program please contact: Maca_Environmental_Ed@nps.gov.

Today!! The 40th Annual Cave Sing!
Mammoth Cave National Park
Sunday, December 1st, 2019 at 1:00pm - 4:30pm
ANNUAL MEETING at 1:00pm at Spelunker’s Cafe
Friends of Mammoth Cave National Park
If you have never been inside Mammoth Cave or if you love music, mark your calendar for the 40th Annual Cave Sing!
Visitors enjoy the immense, underground beauty of the cave, intertwined with the beautiful glow of a Christmas tree covered with lights and the synchronicity of a holiday choir. Just one visit inside is enough to suddenly inspire the mind to realize just how tiny we are in comparison to nature. The crowd is in a festive mood, most wearing holiday-themed attire.
As we descend into the cave, the Park Rangers smile and nod in welcome. It is a time for celebrating the amazing cave that has hosted this tradition for generations and for enjoying the hospitality Mammoth Cave National Park is known for, such as the refreshments and photos with Santa, waiting for visitors at the conclusion of the performance.
