Mammoth Cave is a natural time capsule, home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct Megafauna. A fascinating audio tour in several languages allows visitors to explore the majestic chambers at their own pace. This is more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience.
Visitors to this incredible cave system come face-to-face with a 50,000-year-old ‘'zygomaturus' jawbone embedded in the cave wall. They also gain insight from an audio tour available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin. 

Mammoth Cave is a unique window into the past, with over 10,000 fossils that once accumulated inside the cave. Upon excavation, many of these fossils were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago.   A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through a beautiful marri forest. The trail is lined with flourishing green foliage, towering trees and wildflowers during winter and spring. This is more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience.

When you arrive and get your ticket the lovely staff give you a headset which will take you through a guided tour. It was a beautiful cave. I felt like I stepped back in the ages when I walked in. So prehistoric. I was passing through on holiday but I had to get to my next destination by a certain time so I felt a little bit rushed. I wish I had a little more to take my time. I would definitely recommend 1hr -1.5hrs to take it nice and slow and take it all of the amazing information :) The bush walk after was also gorgeous. I also got some cute souvenirs and gifts from the gift shop! I'm so happy I got to be there in September as this is wild flower season :D

Loved visiting this amazing cave. The staff are truly excellent at what they do. Their acknowledgement of the rich Aboriginal history and culture was clear. They described palaeontology and traditional stories connected to the site. The caves are stunning, but also the surrounding park is incredibly beautiful too. Well worth a visit.

Amazing view. Good job maintaining the cave. Audio guide device is provided with every paid entry. A small distance of walk around 2km after exiting the cave to return to the entrance and car park. We enjoyed it. We visited Jewel cave as well but I personally prefer Mammoth cave as it is a self guided tour. I can take my own time admiring the beauty of the cave without being rushed to the next location like what I experienced in Jewel cave. The audio guide works just the about the same as human guide.

Loved it. Visited this, Mammoth Cave and Lake Cave the same day. Magnificent. Mammoth is something like 80m long x 30m wide x 25m high, and that's only some of it. Self guided, you get a headset and listen as you walk around, taking your time, just amazing. Again, formed over a million plus years, and still changing, although very slowly. We just turned up as were in the area, but worth a call to check availability. Weather was ordinary, so not many out and about, but inside the caves, you'd never know.
