    Reminds me of the time I visited Penns Cave in PA. It was cool. It’s traversed by boat and part of the tour now is about how much damage running the tours over the century damaged the cave. It’s kinda meta.

    My favorite part is when they show you “the chimes” and talk about how tours used to tap them to make a spectacular noise during the tour and how they took millions of years to form but now they’re all broken because we are all dumb monkeys.

    I absolutely loved my visit to Mammoth and am planning on returning some day. They have a few different tours and I want to try some of the more challenging ones that take longer.

    On a serious note you have to do the Domes & Dripstones Tour if you go. Be ready to climb some stairs though.

    When you go, stop at the shitty dinosaur park right by there. Tons of hilariously bad dinosaur statues.

      Heck yes! It’s well worth the price and time. Takes a good hour to walk the whole park and really marvel at how bad some of the statues are.

      10/10. No notes.

      Yeah! Been to this cave and we stopped by the dinosaur place while we were there since it was just too tempting. Fun little diversion and the statues are… They’re something all right lmao

    The NPS Instagram account is one of the only reasons I still have an insta. They’re fucking hilarious.

      The park management seems already lowering it’s expectations towards their visitors. ;)

    If you’re in the mood to have a laugh at other people’s bad reviews, check out the Your Stupid Opinions podcast. They have covered at least one other national park that someone reviewed as “mid” as well as a ton of other hilariously bad reviews that range anywhere from sex toys to local psychics. I always enjoy passing the time on my way to work with these guys. Small town murder is also really good by them, haven’t checked out the crime in sports one yet though.
