“What an Awesome Adventure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

This was the last thing we did before leaving Louisville, and was a excellent time it was! We bought the early bird tickets online. We arrived 45 mins early for our tour and we were the only ones in our tour. The staff was really friendly and the gift shop was pretty unique. Our tour guides were Dylan and Dennis.... More

Scary and Fun all at the same time. Loved it. Our guides David and Joshua were great. We felt so safe with them. Met some great people in our group. I highly recommend Mega Cavern Zips especially for team building. Would definitely go again.

“A must do when in Louisville!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

My 11 year old daughter talked me in to taking her here while we were visiting Louisville. I am terrified of heights. This was probably one of the scariest and most fun things I have ever done in my life! And it was a blast! 100 feet off the ground at 30-40 mph! Our guides Jones and Curtis were great!... More

“Cool experience but a little too pricey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

It is a cool experience to zip line underground in real caves but it was fairly pricey for what you actually got. It took us 2 hours to complete the tour with really only a few minutes total of actual ziplining...we spent WAY too much time waiting...our group had too many people in it and it took a long time...

“Awesome Zips Guides, disrespectful management”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

We had two people cancel from our group of five. We asked the employees and management if the two who cancelled could use theirs another day. Maybe they've needed to deal with clients disappointment regarding rescheduling before, but they were more than unaccommodating/ boarding on outright rude from the get go. We go to zipline, and have a good time....... More
