Lost River Cave’s underground boat tour includes a stroll along the historic river walk leading to one of the largest cave entrances east of the Mississippi River. Daylight disappears from view as you board the boat and journey into the unique world that exists beneath the streets of Bowling Green.
Lost River Cave offers a delightful escape into Kentucky’s Cave Country with hiking trails through the lush wooded valley, the seasonal butterfly habitat, a gem mining sluice and their charming gift shop, Wildflower Gifts.

All Aboard! Long before interstates, people visiting Bowling Green arrived at the L&N Depot. Today, that 1925 structure has been restored to house the two-story Historic RailPark and Train Museum. Visitors will learn the history of the tracks by asking questions of a “real railroader” through state-of-the-art interactive galleries. Exhibits highlight the African American experience during segregation, Civil War and the railroad, business of the railroad, the culture and history of the Hobo and more.
Kids of all ages will enjoy one of the region’s largest model railroad displays. Guided tours are offered every half hour through vintage passenger cars: dining car, sleeper car, post office car, and presidential. Behind-the-scene tours of the locomotive and hospital car are offered on weekends. The Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sundays 1 – 4 p.m. and Mondays beginning in April. The RailPark is located at I-65, Exit 28. Call (270) 745-7317 or visit www.historicrailpark.com for more information.
