National Parks Traveler is reporting that you'll be able to tour Mammoth Cave absolutely free on August 25th. The tour sans fees is a celebration of the 91st birthday of the National Parks Service.
The Discovery Tour is the one that is being offered for free from 10 AM to 2 PM on that date, which happens to be a Saturday, so plan on crowds throughout the day. The tour is a self-guided walking tour that runs about three-quarters of a mile from the Historic Entrance to the Rotunda, Audubon Aveneue, and Rafinesque Hall. NP Traveler also notes that rangers will be on hand to answer questions and offer directions as needed.
Mammoth Cave is located in South Central Kentucky and is the worlds longest cave system. Over 365 miles of the underground complex have been explored so far, with more areas still being discovered. The natural underground beauty of the area was first designated as a National Park back in 1941.
