World’s only fully underground zip-line course!
Underground Ziplining at the Louisville Mega Cavern has been on my family’s bucket list for quite sometime. I went ziplining in Costa Rica last year and when I stumbled across the Mega Cavern I knew this would be one of our summer stops for the kiddos.
Underground Zipling
The Louisville Mega cavern is so much more than just Underground Ziplining; it’s an underground adventure rich in history, geology, and mining so if you are expecting to just zip line you will be in for an amazing treat.
History
The Louisville Mega Cavern is a completely underground, approximately 100 acre, man-made cavern waiting for your family to enjoy all it has to offer in a cool 58º temperature all year long; so make sure you bring a jacket because if you are like me I stay cold and 58º is freezing to me. So wrap up!!!
The cavern is not just for fun, but was built to withstand a tornado; or even fallout from a nuclear attack. And for this reason during the Cuban missile crisis in the early 1960’s, plans were made to house 50,000 people in the natural bomb shelter in the case of an atomic bomb.
Family Fun
The Cavern includes everything from MEGA Zips- an adventurous and scary experience featuring six underground zip lines. This tour is guaranteed to get your heart racing and your adrenaline pumping. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, MEGA ZIPS is the place to visit. My bonus daughter Camille was deathly afraid of heights when we started the zips, but after the third zip she was a pro and all of her fears were gone; until the last zip which is the dual racing zip!! Can you say OMG!! I almost pooped my pants, but it was so much fun and well worth it.
Guides
We had a great experience zipping with our guides Cameron and Josh! They were reassuring and hilarious!!! It was my husband and daughters first-time zip lining and they made sure we felt safe and had a great time!! The zip lining was not very scary until we reached the suspension bridge, but we took our time and guess what we did not die. Cameron and Josh distracted us with jokes and conversation like pros!
I never knew I could be whizzing along at 50+mph so high above the ground — while being underground! If you are visiting Louisville or live in close proximity to KY the Louisville Mega Cavern will not disappoint.
Have you been zip lining? Better yet have you been Underground Ziplining?
The cavern is also available for rent for your private party, meeting, or event.

Yes!!!!! I live in Louisville and the Mega Cavern is awesome! Hopefully you got to visit some of our other fabulous attractions! #LouisvilleLuv
I went strictly for the Underground Zipline but i am going back because 4th st district was awesome
This looks like so much fun! I’ve never been zip-lining, but I definitely want to go. I know I would be super nervous. Louisville is a really fun city to visit!
the last zip took me over and I was ready to go home!! I was like dis too murch and I am ready to go home
Oh my gosh, this looks fun and terrifying at the same time! We’ve never been zip lining, but maybe we’ll give it a try when the boys are a little older…
WHY have I not been ziplining yet?! This looks so cool! I’d probably be scared out of my mind though! lol
I went zip lining some years ago and it was soooo Much fun! I can’t wait to do it again. I don’t know how I feel about it being underground though. Lol.
it was scary as you know what!! there was a narrow drawbridge suspended about hundreds of feet in the air and wobbly as hell
What an awesome experience! I have only been zip lining once and it was indoors. I would love to try something like this.
