Gothic Avenue Tour

Some areas of Mammoth Cave just seem magical, and Gothic Avenue is one of those special places. The tour begins at the Visitor Center, enters the famous Historic Entrance, and passes through the Rotunda and the Church. Gothic Avenue is one of the most historically significant passageways in the cave. It showcases hundreds of examples of visitor experiences still visible today, from the multitude of nineteenth-century candle-written signatures to the dozens and dozens of stone monuments left behind by visitors nearly 200 years ago. Portions of this tour are also seen on the Star Chamber, Historic and Violet City Lantern tours. Mammoth Cave does not offer the Gothic Avenue Tour year-round.
