Visit Horse Cave

Visit Horse Cave Horse Cave is a gateway community to Mammoth Cave National Park.

Horse Cave is home to Hidden River Cave, American Cave Museum, Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo, and shops in a small town National Register of Historic Places Commercial District. Hidden River Cave snakes under the streets and sidewalks, and the history of a town that developed on top of a cave is shared through stories on the award-winning Horse Cave Stories Cell Phone Tour and website www.hors

ecavestories.com. Tour the museum and cave, shop for a book or gift, and enjoy the free Thursday evening bluegrass jams at The Bookstore downtown. On the award-winning streetscape, you can even trace the pathway of the cave that runs under your feet.
