FP update 3/13 Mega Caverns Louisville,

We spent today beneath the city of Louisville, Kentucky 😁 where lies an underground adventure like nowhere else in the world! Louisville Mega Cavern is a one-of-a-kind place, and you truly have to visit it to get the full experience! It is pretty wild what is happening below the city. 🏙️

Here are some fun facts about the Mega Cavern:

(*) The cavern was mined from the early 1930s to the early 1970s.
(*) The Mega Cavern is approximately 100 acres.
(*) It is classified by the Metro Louisville Government and the State of Kentucky as a building. As a matter of fact, it is the largest building in the State of Kentucky.
(*) The underground is privately owned.
(*) Approximately 70% of the Louisville Zoo is located above the cavern.
(*) If you filled the Mega Cavern with boats, it could hold up to 16,000 units.
(*) During the Cuban missile crisis in the early 1960s, state officials made plans in case of nuclear attack to house 50,000 people in the cavern because it’s a natural bomb shelter.

Today you can experience the caverns with a historic tram tour, zip lines, challenging rope courses, and educational walking tours. We partook in the walking tour.Read more
