He's talking about a Mammoth Cave. At first I assumed it was Paige's vag but I think the NP stands for Not Paige. So it's another Mammoth Cave

Do the cave adventure tour where you go crawling through it. It's really awesome. Go to a part of the cave no one really gets to go to!

You can also go on hikes outside the cave to explore the sinkholes.

There 4 or 5 different tours and yes it's cool to go hiking to see the sinkholes and random caves they have around the park. The tours are 2+ hours but I stopped with the family after The music city bowl omw back to chicago and we had a blast even though it was a bit cold!

I'll be stopping by on the way home from Chicago/South Bend. How long are the sinkhole hikes? I'll have a 18 month old and almost 4 year old.

I found the "family friendly" cave tour so I guess we'll do that one but was also interested in the non guided activities.

We went there one weekend when I was stationed at Ft. Knox. Pretty cool place. I remember going through one chamber where the guide told us it was large enough to hold a 747 or something similar. I think your kids will have fun.

It's 54 degrees...365 days a year.

CAUTION: You must purchase tickets ahead of time. Do not arrive there and expect to get tour tickets that same day. That rarely ever happens...the tours typically sell out in advance so it is good to plan ahead.

Neat place...longest navigable cave system in the world.

I've been about 20 times. It's great. Lots of different tours.

It is great...maybe a bit hard for the smaller child. I've taken my kids (youngest was 6 when I went), and we had a blast. We actually stayed overnight in the nearby Wigwam Motel.

As far as the caves that I've been to, it is one of my least favorite. Its a huge cave system but it doesn't have the amazing displays of stalactites and stalagmites that say a Carlsbad Caverns has.
Does have a neat historical tie to the Confederacy, in that is where the Confederates mined their salt peter for making gun powder.
