Review of MegaQuest at Louisville Mega Caverns in Louisville, KY
Some of the Louisville Family Fun writers took their kids to try out the Mega Quest experience at Louisville Mega Caverns. Here’s what each writer had to say about their fun day!
Karen: Mega Quest is a unique experience, capable of entertaining just about anyone! The staff were kind, and very helpful, *especially when my equipment was malfunctioning in the middle of the course – possible due to operator error 🙂 My son is a small 7-yr old, and while some areas were impossible for him to cross (due to arm reach and leg span), he had a blast everywhere else. I think the prime child age would be about 8 and up, unless of course the child is quite tall for his/her age. The best part, for me, was watching my son face his fears and us working together to accomplish certain areas. It was a great, FUN bonding experience for he and I. Per my son, after 2+ hours in the course, “Mom, that was AWWWWESOME!!!”
Jeanette: My 6 year old and I had a great time at the ropes course. He said his favorite was the big zipline into the cargo net. I enjoyed doing something active and different with my son amidst all the crazy weather. My son led on the course and headed straight to the upper level. Next time, we will stay on the lower level before going up to the harder level. By the end, he was getting tired and had trouble with his clamps, but it didn’t dampen his spirits from enjoying wearing all the safety gear and climbing around.
Maggie: This course was physically demanding, but even though I have
a minor physical disability I was able to do it for two hours. But what’s more impressive to me is that my
six year old was able to take off on his own shortly after we started. He was scared when we first arrived, but I
nearly had to drag him out after three hours.
He talked about it the whole rest of the night and he’s already begging
to go back again. I really wish I would
have known about this place sooner. It
was great! A few tips-use the restroom
before you get your harness on; you have to take it all the way off to go. Also, once you’re in the course you aren’t
getting out any time soon. And bring
water for when you’re done. They do have
a water fountain but it’s just not enough.
