NEW CINEMATIC SHOWCASE!
This one’s for the day-trippers and the road warriors. Those who just want to get out – out of town, out of the car, and out into nature’s most spectacular wonders.
Break up all those “Are we there yets” with the Discovery Walking Tour at Cumberland Caverns. Open to any-aged explorer, this adventure features a 90 minute walking tour through our world 333 feet below. This tour is a moderately-strenuous hike, including over 350 uneven, natural stone steps, steep hills and uneven ground, and 1.5 miles of hiking as your guide shares with you the facts about how caves form and the types of animals that call our cave home.
Experience the wonder of an all-new immersive experience, surrounded by video, light and sound deep within the cave after climbing the Hall of the Mountain King, a mountain within our Cardwell mountain. Watch the story of our discovery come to life as our beautiful Cathedral formation, cave ceiling and walls become the canvas on which our video plays. Listen as Aaron Higgenbotham explores the cave around you and bats fly past! It is an experience that can be replicated no where else, and you will see something new every time you watch it!
If you have been to Cumberland Caverns before be prepared to be WOW’d with a brand new tour with MORE amazing information about our cave. This tour focuses on the natural parts of our cave (wildlife, geology, formations and basic discovery story). This tour will not cover all aspects of Cumberland Caverns. We have so many stories to tell that we have developed additional tours to give each story line the full attention it deserves! If you are more interested in the HISTORY of Cumberland Caverns, or think the 350 natural limestone steps on the Discovery may be a bit more strenuous than you can handle, check out our Cardwell Mountain History If you would prefer to take a walking tour at your own pace, check out the PRIVATE tour option!
