Dinos will take over Louisville Mega Cavern again with Dinos Under Louisville. Beginning February 17th, visitors will venture under Louisville to uncover 80 moving dinosaurs on a gripping 20-minute adventure through more than half a mile of Louisville Mega Cavern’s underground passageways. Visitors who travel through Dinos Under Louisville enter a wormhole and are suddenly transported back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the Earth! Guests will enjoy an epic adventure alongside the “live” dinosaurs as guests drive through the cavern, experiencing the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous time periods and the extinction event that ended the time of dinosaurs on the planet. Right before their eyes, dino lovers of all ages will see dozens of colossal dinosaurs as they take over Louisville like never before.
Dino Don’s Dinos Under Louisville will welcome visitors Friday, February 17, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and will run until Sunday, April 30, 2023. Dinos Under Louisville will welcome aspiring paleontologists Sunday through Thursday, 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., and Friday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Guests will meet jaw-dropping, realistic animatronic dinosaurs like the terrifying T.rex or the gentle Stegosaurus as they drive through the mega dino chaos soon to break out under Louisville. Tickets are available online at louisvillemegacavern.com.
