Liz our guide greeted us and collected the $10 fee per person. It's not a big house but it is frozen in time when Patsy was there. Lots of pictures and artifacts from her life. Loved the salt & pepper shakers collection. The upstairs is a single bedroom and they only had half bath. A cute gift shop in the kitchen area. A must visit for any fan of Patsy Cline. Down the block is a new amphitheater/park that is going to be dedicated to her. Her burial site is 3 miles down the road.

I was also able to put a go pro with a helmet strap on the caving helmet and use it.

If you've toured the Grand Caverns walking tour and find yourself peering into the dark recesses of…read morethe cavern, the Fountain Cave adventure tour is a must on your next visit. Visiting on a day when temperatures were only forecast to reach a high of 42F, it was pleasantly warm inside Fountain Cave and did not require bundling up for most people. Long sleeves, long pants, and boots, are required due to the terrain you "may" cover in addition to keeping the [damaging] oils from your skin off the cave features. Helmets, mounted lighting, gloves and knee pads are provided and were all in good condition. The floor of the 1800s walkway is mostly dry but moist areas are present throughout the tour and can be very slippery; following the instructions provided by the tour guides (three points of contact) will ensure everyone stays upright in these areas. Dana and Ashelynn were our guides for a group of 7 and always took point and rear to ensure everyone was safe and accounted for. Dana took the prominent role in discussing the history, and geology, of Fountain Cave and was a very engaging guide. While Fountain Cave is not as large as Grand Caverns, getting to tour this cave by headlamp and put yourself INTO the exhibit is truly an awesome experience. The bonus comes in the form of the Adventure "opportunities" that run near or parallel to the original 1800s pathway; for those not able or interested in taking the Adventure routes, you simply stay on the 1800s walkway and meet up with the rest of the group a small distance down the path. There are a few instances on the tour where a break is taken in total darkness. The first is a short ways into the tour and is designed to show you the amount of light that can be picked up from the entrance way after your eyes are given time to adjust. The second sets the stage to show how the cave would have been illuminated by a small candle. Note: please be respectful of the other guests if taking photos in these black-out moments; lowering your camera to the lowest brightness setting and staying back from the group prevents ruining the experience for others. IMO, the only way to make the Fountain Cave tour better is to increase the length of time spent within. Just like the Grand Caverns tour, I still found myself peering into the areas off the guided tour path wondering...is there more to this cave that hasn't been discovered yet.

Multiple parking lots are available around the block, only few steps from the main walking path. There are restrooms available as well. We entered from the E Cork St, where there were a bunch shady people hanging out at the entrance. We went around 7pm when most of the shops were already closed, only the restaurants and bars were open. We saw the splash pad was out of service and closed for the season. We enjoyed the walk for few minutes and decided to head back since the shops were closed. Probably the area is more vibrant during the day.
