From America’s only all-water cavern to fully-guided off-road cave rock tours, to a miner’s maze, and to a historic cave house, get yourself ready to be entertained and educated at the same time!
Penn’s Cave Boat Tour
Are you dreaming of spelunking but just dead-worried about sore muscles and cramped legs entailed by such experience?
Worry no more! Penn’s Cave, the only cave in Pennsylvania placed on the National Register of Historic Places, will have you wandering in awe how nature shows its creativity with water trickles, rock slabs and massive stone pillars as its canvas.
The entrance to the cave is down a slight hill and then a set of stairs. Getting to the cave is the easiest part, walking back up lets you burn off some extra calories, but it’s not difficult.
You’ll load up on a boat and push off into the darkness. The guide illuminates the different features of the cave along the way while pointing out interesting formations.
The tour lasts about 45 minutes and the guide is educational and entertaining. This was a great way to see a cave and one I’d definitely return to again.
Farm-Nature-Wildlife Tour
Experience wildlife on a 90-minute guided bus tour through 1600 acres of carefully-preserved meadows, sierras and forests. This greenery is home to Penn’s Cave icon—the mountain lion, and other North American animals.

Smile with in-season sunflowers. Recipient of the Century Farm Award in 2008, the working farm will definitely upswing your experience.
