Adventures abound in Kentucky, as there is no shortage of opportunities to get out and explore. Many adventures are geared toward those who are of a certain ability or age, but one underground excursion is ideal for anyone who wants to try something new. The popular Louisville Mega Cavern offers a Jeep-pulled tram tour through its massive man-made cave system. Not only is it great for everyone, it may just be the most unique adventure in Kentucky.
The Louisville Mega Cavern is a popular destination in Kentucky's largest city. It's mainly known for its underground zip lines, but there's something for everyone at this unique cavern.
You must be a certain age to fly through the cavern or climb through the ropes course, and you'll definitely want to be in good physical health. These are one-of-a-kind adventures you'll only find in Kentucky, but if you're looking for something a little more low-key, then check out their Mega Tram tour.

The Mega Tram is pulled by a Jeep and can fit many people for one tour.
It feels a little like Jurassic Park meets Disney World, as the Jeep pulls the Mega Tram through the massive cavern. The tour is 60-70 minutes long and takes you through the cave to learn all about its history, present, and future.
The best part about this underground adventure is that it is ideal for anyone who wants to give it a try.
Families with small children, senior citizens, and anyone else who may not want to or be able to take part in the other activities can hop on this tour. The tour is led by an expert from the Mega Cavern who will explain features of the cave, such as its geology, formations, a historic replica of the Cuban Missile fallout bunker, and much more.
This family-friendly tour takes place all year long, as the cave remains a comfortable 58-60 degrees, no matter the weather outside.
Some tours do sell out, so you'll want to purchase your tickets ahead of time, if possible. You'll find all of the information you need to do so through the website (linked below). The Louisville Mega Cavern offers one of only two tram cavern tours in the country, and this unique Jeep tour is a must try in the Bluegrass State for anyone looking for a little adventure.
