What you can expect
Mammoth Cave is a fascinating natural time capsule, home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct Megafauna. A self-guided audio tour is available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin, which allows visitors to explore the majestic chambers at their own pace. Mammoth Cave offers a unique window into the past, over 10,000 fossils once accumulated inside the cave, many of which were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago.
When exploring this incredible cave system, you will come face-to-face with a 50,000-year-old ‘'zygomaturus' jawbone embedded in the cave wall! A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through a beautiful marri forest. The trail is lined with flourishing green foliage, towering trees and wildflowers during winter and spring. Mammoth Cave is more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience. Mammoth Cave is open daily between 9am to 5pm with the last entry to the caves at 4pm.

Great cave. Can't wait to do the rest of them!!!!!
Rather easy cave to do. It's great that their is no guide and you can go along as you please. Pretty much the whole time it was just the two of us in there and was very peaceful experience. Will definitely be back again in the future and do all the other caves.

Great family experience. Lots of photo opportunities. The tour walk was very informative and interesting. We would revisit again. Staff were friendly. The walk took about 1.5 hours. The grounds were very well maintained. The cave is honestly stunning z

Great tour with lots to see
Great self-guided tour. Not many people so we could take our time. The lighting was bright so you could see everything. Really enjoyed the tour. I am claustrophobic but the caverns are huge so I felt fine. Highly recommended. I would like to have seen the other caves if we had time.
