This magical cave is a natural time capsule; home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct giant animals. A fascinating audio tour is available in several languages. Mammoth Cave is a self-guided cave, where visitors explore along the boardwalks and platforms, through the majestic chambers of the cave. This is much more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience. 

Mammoth Cave is the most easily accessed of all the show caves in the region, with wheelchair access into the first, most magnificent chamber of the cave.

The entrance boardwalk follows the path of a winter-stream, winding through the forest outside and into the massive first chamber of the cave. This is the site of one of Australia's most important palaeontological digs in the early 1900's. The cave still contains the fossil jawbone of a long-extinct giant marsupial species, embedded within the limestone wall - 50,000 years after the animal roamed the forests above.

A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through the beautiful marri forest, with whistling birds and stunning flora displays. 

(Wheelchair access to the first chamber - sorry no prams or strollers).

This was a great experience from start to finish. It is a self guided tour and it was nice to go at our own pace and enjoy the sights. I was thrilled that anyone can do this as one of my party has bad knees and was able to do this comfortably. The cave itself was absolutely stunning and the history of it was interesting. The lady who helped us was awesome. She was really helpful and had a wonderful sense of humour. The gift shop was adorable. So many gorgeous little gift ideas. I highly recommend this tour.

Bring a jumper it gets cold inside the cave. We all enjoyed the self guided tour wearing head phones and a little torch comes with it. It's beautiful inside with some fossils on hhthe side of the rock. My 4 year old climbed all the steps and my 6 year old enjoyed it too. Lisa Bryant

Mammoth Cave was a great experience. The cave itself is quite stunning, and the self-guided audio tour was informative. There are walkways to guide you through, so there's no wandering off the trail. We had a group with children ranging from 4-14 yrs and they all handled it well. There are a few areas with steps inside the cave, and a climb of 160-odd steps to exit the cave. Seth Merlo

This was a nice and educational experience for our family, it felt well set up and safe to assess , I must share that the stairs at the end were a killer ! But it was nice to get the heart and our legs pumping. I’d also like to mention the lovly staff in the entrance shop they were friendly, professional and welcoming to us all. Thank you for providing such an awesome experience with us. Ally
