Cave City Travel Guide

After a day exploring Mammoth Cave National Park, this is the place to go for dinner!! Fantastic BBQ, great prices, really friendly staff. They won’t even judge when you show up three days in a row and practically lick your plate clean every time.

Dinosaur World, if it must be labeled a tourist trap, it's most definitely a high end tourist trap with over 150 life size fiberglass dinosaur sculptures spread along a wooded path over 20 acres.

Near the end of the new entrance tour. Get under your nation. #nationalpark
