2017 INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY - When the Louisville Mega Cavern has to close due to inclement weather it is based on safety factors for both our customers as well as our employees. These include weather warnings issued by local government agencies that may include the Metro Louisville area, State of Kentucky or Federal government which will be the basis of the decision. Management will analyze all data in advance of the event and decide on the possible closure in a timely manner. The company could attempt to call all advanced sale customers to notify them of the possible closure. Closing the cavern will be based solely on weather that affects the Louisville Metro area and will not reflect other areas or states from which our customers may travel. In the event of closure, each customer will be entitled to a RAIN CHECK for a period of six months after the bad weather event. We will not issue refunds. If you are not comfortable with the future weather in Louisville we highly recommend that you simply show up on a first come first served basis rather than making an advanced reservation. This allows you to wait till the last second rather than making a commitment that may result in no refund.
Every participant must sign a waiver. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent. If the parent is not present, a photo copy of the parent's driver's license must accompany the signed waiver/release. If the waiver has been altered in any way, you will not be allowed to participate. Click here (PDF) to download the document.
No one under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or impairing legal drugs will be allowed to participate on the Challenge Course.
Pregnant women, people with heart, back, or leg problems will not be allowed to participate. No one over 310 pounds will be able to participate, or under the age of 5 years old.
You will be fitted with a full body harness, smart belays, gloves and a helmet with a miner's helmet light. The equipment is similar to rock climbing equipment, but designed specifically for a ropes course.
Do not wear sandals, flip flops, open toed shoes or shoes without a back! If you do, you will not be allowed to participate and you will still be charged for the time even though you don't get to attempt the challenge course! You need to wear comfortable closed-toe shoes...something like tennis shoes.
Do not wear short shorts or shirts that do not have sleeves. This is due to the safety harness gear that you will be wearing......and yes, you must wear a shirt.
Make sure you have deep pockets or a pocket with a zipper or Velcro closure if you will be bringing keys, cell phones (if you bring your smart phone we have Facebook check-in), wallets or anything else that you do not want to lose. We recommend that you place your valuables in your car for security purposes. Louisville Mega Cavern and MEGA QUEST are not responsible for property lost, damaged, or stolen during your tour.
No...but reservations are highly recommended. If you do not have a reservation, we will do our best to accommodate you based on availability, however, reservations are first come/first serve.
Yes, yes, yes. We fill up quickly and if you do not make a reservation and pay, you will not be guaranteed a spot on the Challenge Course. It is not pleasant for you or for us if you just show up and we can't get you on the course!
It's not uncommon to have a fear of heights. Many people who have a fear of heights are still able to enjoy our tour. You'll be double-clipped to a thick steel cable at all times when you are off the ground. The tour guides will be able to answer all of your questions and be able to provide safety information and support as you progress through the course.
Depending on your location while on the tour you may be 100 feet under the highways, roadways and businesses above. We are also under the Louisville Zoo and a full service business park above ground.
All underground adventure activities carry certain inherent risks. Our course is built to A.C.C.T. (Association for Challenge Course Technology) professional construction standards. Our tour guides are professionally trained and our equipment is of the highest quality. The course and equipment are inspected daily.
You may not bring a camera or cell phone into the Mega Quest course unless it is a Go-Pro that is attached to your helmet.
You will be fitted with a full body harness, trolley system, two heavy duty lanyards with safety clips, and a helmet with a miner's helmet light. The equipment is similar to rock climbing equipment, but designed specifically for a ropes course.
Our guides are professionally trained to ensure that you have an educational, memorable, and enjoyable experience. The industry standard for tipping is 15-20% of the tour rate per guide...much like a restaurant.
Pregnant women are not allowed to participate in the MEGA QUEST tour. You might consider our historic tram tour instead.
Our staff is professionally trained and cares about your safety very much. MEGA QUEST reserves the right to refuse anyone access to the facility if we feel it would be unsafe for them, our other guests or our staff. Some examples of someone we might turn away would be a guest under the influence of drugs or alcohol, someone who is over the weight limits, someone that will not or cannot understand or obey the rules and those who are physically unable to do the challenges. We do everything in our power to get guests out on the course and give them safe access to our facilities. However, MEGA QUEST and our staff will have the final say on any particular person going on or continuing onto the course.
We offer free photos.
