Cumberland Caverns
Top 10 in Top 12 Best Day Trips from Tennessee
Cumberland Caverns ranks 10th on the list of the best day trips from Tennessee. Aaron Higgenbotham, a land surveyor, found Cumberland Caverns, a display cave in McMinnville, Tennessee, in 1810. Having been made accessible to the general public in 1956, Higgenbotham's Cave immediately became to be a favored location for nearby intrepid travelers in the 19th century. Now, there are more than 32 miles of caverns and underground corridors, as well as stunning underground rock formations, underground waterfalls, dark pools, and some incredibly big underground rooms.
A standard daylight walking tour of the caves is available, as are spelunking tours for the more daring, overnight tours for those who are truly searching for a thrill, and informative field trips for kids. Birthday and other celebrations as well as unconventional weddings are frequently held in the caves. In the Volcano Room of the Cumberland Caverns, a monthly concert series called Bluegrass Underground is also hosted.
