Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky was recently rated as one of the “most disappointing U.S. tourist attractions” in a recent poll.

In a viral social media post, park officials troll the ranking by asking people to come and “experience what has disappointed millions of people for over 225 years.”

“If you would like to experience the disappointment of Mammoth Cave, visit our website and choose from one of our many activities that will leave you unfulfilled!” the post read. “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. (Fair warning – there are bugs in the outdoors, cellular phone service is spotty, and there are stairs on some of our cave tours.)”

Officials told potential visitors that “a world regret awaits” them at Mammoth Cave.
