Reminds me of the time I visited Penns Cave in PA. It was cool. It’s traversed by boat and part of the tour now is about how much damage running the tours over the century damaged the cave. It’s kinda meta.
My favorite part is when they show you “the chimes” and talk about how tours used to tap them to make a spectacular noise during the tour and how they took millions of years to form but now they’re all broken because we are all dumb monkeys.
If you’re in the mood to have a laugh at other people’s bad reviews, check out the Your Stupid Opinions podcast. They have covered at least one other national park that someone reviewed as “mid” as well as a ton of other hilariously bad reviews that range anywhere from sex toys to local psychics. I always enjoy passing the time on my way to work with these guys. Small town murder is also really good by them, haven’t checked out the crime in sports one yet though.
If only you could read that on a phone
Wow, my imagination is pretty good. I’m in a phone and actually believed I read it!
“Plugh”

Or lower expectations.
The park management seems already lowering it’s expectations towards their visitors. ;)
Increasing success through lowering expectations
I went there, spent three days on various tours, it was fantastic!
I’ve been there, it’s absolutely amazing if you can appreciate the context.
Last time I went it felt like Disney land or some shit, soooo many loud and obnoxious kids
You only actually fail if you don’t learn or you didn’t give it your best shot
Been there, loved it.
I’m guessing the disappointed visitors are probably also “Disney adults.”
That sounds very specific…
I used to live in a part of Utah where many of the women and children have basically only ever left Utah to go to Disneyland. Everything that could be considered a vacation destination got compared to Disneyland.
The NPS Instagram account is one of the only reasons I still have an insta. They’re fucking hilarious.
I’ll make sure to miss it!
When you go, stop at the shitty dinosaur park right by there. Tons of hilariously bad dinosaur statues.
Heck yes! It’s well worth the price and time. Takes a good hour to walk the whole park and really marvel at how bad some of the statues are.
10/10. No notes.
Yeah! Been to this cave and we stopped by the dinosaur place while we were there since it was just too tempting. Fun little diversion and the statues are… They’re something all right lmao
