During the summer, my family and I went on a vacation to the Kentucky Mammoth Caves. We had been there a few times before as well, when my sister and I were young. At the Mammoth Caves, we went on 2 tours: the Violet City Lantern Tour and the Domes & Dripstones Tour. Both tours were extremely wonderful and worth the long drive to the Mammoth Caves. They were an amazing experience.
The Violet City Lantern Tour was an awesome adventure. It was a different experience. The tour was lantern guided, which meant that our only source of light was the lanterns. The tour was 3 hours long, and we got to see many exciting things, like the Bottomless Pit and the saltpetre mining area. We also got to see the Star Chamber, experience total darkness, and many other exciting things. The tour was definitely worth the hours of walking.
The Domes & Dripstones Tour was amazing. In the start, there were a lot of stairs which were a bit tricky to climb down, since they were slippery. Also, some of the passages were very narrow but it just made the trip more fun. The tour was 2 hours long and had electrical lighting (wasn't a lantern tour). We got to see the Frozen Niagara (domes and dripstones) which was truly a beautiful and spectacular sight. This tour was also worth the visit.
