"Fun with the Family"
Located on a mountainside, Pennsylvania’s largest cave offers not only the underground caves but also a breathtaking view. Although the adventurous may choose the challenging Caving Adventure, the easy guided family tour is recommended for families with children under twelve and the physically challenged. Watch your step in the narrow passageways.
At the end of the tour, don’t miss the sound-and-light show, sort of an underground Fantasia. There’s even “Kavern Putt,” a wheelchair-accessible miniature golf course housed in a huge man-made cave.
Bring a jacket and a flashlight: the caverns are 50 degrees year-round. Rappelling and climbing sessions are available to groups inside the caverns, as are fossil-hunting excursions. Restrooms in the visitor center are wheelchair accessible and include changing tables. There is a picnic shelter, or stop a tenth of a mile up US 40 for home cooking at Glisan's Restaurant. Dozens of flavors of pies are baked fresh here daily.
