The social media person in charge of the Mammoth Cave National Park Facebook page is a genius. A post from August 23, 2024, begins, “Come experience what has disappointed millions of people for over 225 years!” The words weave an advertisement for the National Park that includes nothing but bad reviews.

The result is madcap hilarity. The post continues, stating, “Mammoth Cave National Park recently rated as one of the “most disappointing U.S. tourist attractions”!” This may be where advertisers would add the cliche line, “Results may vary.” Of course, park employees think it is a great place to visit. Some visitors said the cave is “very dark” and the park has “nothing cool.”
The Facebook post promises that we can expect to “experience the disappointment of Mammoth Cave.” Prospective guests should select activities “that will leave you unfulfilled!” The post uses descriptive phrases such as disappointment in a “dry hole with very few stalagmites and stalactites.” Some guests were unable to see the forest because of the trees. The “advertisement” also contains a dire warning. “Fair warning – there are bugs in the outdoors, cellular phone service is spotty, and there are stairs on some of our cave tours.”
Before the final plea to visit the website and make reservations, we see the happy announcement “A world of regret awaits you at Mammoth Cave!” The remark will spark additional interest in visiting Mammoth Cave National Park so people can verify the bad reviews. You can read the original and very hilarious Facebook post here.
These Bad Reviews Make Me Want To Visit Mammoth Cave State Park
Mammoth Cave Nation Park is in the heart of Kentucky. The Cave Research Foundation (CRF) has mapped 426 miles of the cave since the late 1950s. Mammoth Cave is the longest cave in the world. With stats like that, it is confusing how visitors could go and not enjoy the trip. Bad reviews for the National Park seem to be from people with no sense of adventure.
Mammoth Cave offers various tours, special events, and educational opportunities. The acoustics inside the cave make it a great place for singing. Even if you don’t like being underground in a cold, dark cave, there is plenty to do above ground. The National Park offers canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, camping, hiking trails, and much more.
It isn’t all bad reviews for Mammoth Cave National Park. The site gets plenty of positive reviews from a satisfied visitor, such as this one.
Please don’t take our word for it. Visit Mammoth Cave to bonk your head on a stalactite and see the stalagmites that refuse to rise for the occasion. Maybe pack a pocket flashlight because someone reported it was dark down there.
Please share if you might visit Mammoth Cave National Park despite the bad reviews.
