We went Sunday, May 28, 2012 and had a great time. We had never zip lined before and were quite nervous at first. Both our guides were wonderful; made us feel safe, secure, and entertained. We are planning on taking our children and their fiancé's. Would recommend to everybody. Only negative is I purchased a picture package prior to getting... More

5/18/2012 at 11am...My husband and I was from out of town and decided to visit the mega caverns to see how it was. It was amazing. Since I dont zip line but my husband wanted to try it, this place allowed us to both enjoy two separate things in one place. While he zipped lined I went on the tram.... More

My wife and i were quite happy with this tour which we took more or less on a lark after seeing the company Jeep at GeoWoodstock X. Don, our guide was very entertaining and quite informative about the place. We would recommend this tour to people coming to the Louisville area who want to see something different. We didn't get...

I surprised my husband with a day trip to Louisville from Cincinnati to zip line the Mega Cavern. It felt/seemed extremely safe despite the fact that I was a little bit scared, never ziplined before. You are always safety hooked by two lines, this was reassuring for me as some of the platforms are very high up. It is dimly... More

Went to celebrate a friends birthday at Mega Zips and it was great! The guides (Dylan n Lindsey) were great. Even though I've zipped before at another locale, I still have an intense fear of heights. Safety was incredible and guides very supportive when one gets a bit nervous. Highly recommend. Would like to have a frequent flyer discount since... More

Even with my extreme fear of heights, I was coached and gently encouraged to complete the entire zip tour; including the Footbridge, which I was deathly afraid of doing. Mike and Dave were amazing guides and when the adventure was over, I felt wonderful. After you find the courage to have faith in the equipment you are wearing and finally... More

My husband and I went we got certificates at Dining Discoveries online so it only cost $12.50 for both of us. We learned quite a bit of information about how they were going to use part of the cavern for people of Louisville and surrounding areas to come and stay until it was safe to leave.
