How this Kentucky National Park turned being ‘disappointing’ into social media gold
MAMMOTH CAVE, Ky. (FOX 56) — While most National Parks may be ashamed of disappointment, Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave decided to lean in and embrace the negative feedback on Friday afternoon.
“Come experience what has disappointed millions of people for over 225 years!” Is the opening line of the National Park’s Facebook Post on Friday.
What proceeded in the post, which as of Saturday had gained 23,000 shares and nearly 7,000 comments, was a positive twist on many negative reviews Mammoth Cave has allegedly received over the park’s 225 years of operation.
“You can be disappointed by a ‘dry hole with very few stalagmites and stalactites’ or discover nothing ‘other than trees’ on over 80+ miles of hiking, biking, horseback riding, and water trails,” National Parks staff said. “A world of regret awaits you at Mammoth Cave!”
