The paddle from the Nolin Tailwater Boat Ramp to the old Lock 6 site has gained popularity in recent years. It is a beautiful 9.2 mile paddle that weaves in and out of Corps property, NPS property and private property. PFD's are required to be worn inside the boundaries of Mammoth Cave National Park, note per State and Federal boating regulations a PFD is required for each person onboard a vessel at all times. If you launch from the Nolin Dam Tailwater Boat Ramp (pictured below) you have 7.5 miles of Nolin River until the confluence with the Green River. Once you turn right and head downstream on the Green River you have 1.7 miles until you hit the takeout at the old Lock 6 site. Do be aware that there is a significant riffle at the Lock 6 site and the takeout is on river right just before the riffle. Due to the secluded nature of this float cell phone signal, restrooms and emergency access are non-existant. This paddle route is best ran at 17' or higher on the USGS gauge linked below. Expect a 7-8 hour float plus any additional time spent fishing.

The early bird gets the face full of spiderwebs. Sleep in.

Take a hike. National parks offer many opportunities to hit the trail. Bring a friend. Maybe a tall friend, just saying.

Learn more about trails and hiking in parks at: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/trails/index.htm

Yes, we are open and back to normal operations!

We are open from 9 am to 4 pm Central Time, 7 days per week. We are open year-round and closed only on Thanksgiving Day & Christmas Day.

No reservations are needed – you can buy tickets at the door or online – we have plenty of capacity.

If you buy tickets online, they are good for any day you choose to use them and don’t expire until you use them.

Tickets include both the zoo and the cave tour:
Adults = $25.95
Children 3 and under = FREE
Kids ages 4 to 14 = $15.95
Kids in high school and college = $19.95
Senior Citizens = $19.95
Military = $19.95
First Responders (Police, Fire & EMTs) = $19.95
CDL Drivers = $19.95

All of our animals are out, you can interact with the kangaroos, and the cave is open for tours.
We rent golf carts at KDU. There is an initial incline coming into the park and the zoo is spread out over about 20 acres. Therefore, there is a lot of walking between animal exhibits. Golf carts make it easier if you have young kids, elderly guests, or guests with physical limitations. Golf carts are great for cold weather, hot days, rainy days, to put a backpack or picnic lunch on the back, a stroller on the back, or a wheelchair on the back.
Golf carts rent as follows: 4-seater is $34.95 and the 6-seater is $59.95. We also have 4-seater lifted golf carts available for rent. You can reserve a golf cart online at Reserve a Golf Cart | Kentucky Down Under in advance of your visit. You don’t pay for your golf cart until you arrive at the park. You must be at the park between 9 am and 10:30 am Central Time to pick up your reserved golf cart or it will be released.

Guests are allowed to bring a cooler and food into the park. There are plenty of picnic tables throughout the park for guests to use.

We allow dogs that are friendly and on a leash in the park with their owners. Just note that there are a couple animal exhibits that the dogs can’t enter (The Outback with the kangaroos & Land of the Lories with the birds) for the safety of your pet and our animals.

Please find attached our eBrochure of the park and also check out our page at: ( https://www.facebook.com/KentuckyDownUnder/ ) for a better understanding of guest experiences.

We hope that you will share your photos on our page and we will in turn share them with our Facebook friends.
