Are you ready for a fun adventure? Prepare your jackets and rubber soled shoes as you will be going to the Lincoln Caverns in Huntington, Pennsylvania. You will be exploring natural cave formations and experience adventures for the whole family.
Explore The Lincoln Caverns
Lincoln Caverns and Whisper Rocks were discovered and 1930 and 1941 and has been preserved since then. You can go on the Kids Cave Crawl which is a one-hour tour of the two caverns and will lead you to discover stalactites, flowstones and sparkling crystals in the cave. You won’t have to wait for long to go on your tour in the Sumer as tours leave every few minutes. During spring and fall, you might have to wait for about 30 minutes in between tours. Don’t worry, the tour goes on rain or shine.
Pan for Real Gems
Another exciting activity when you visit is panning for real gems. Lincoln Caverns have a sluice where you and others can search for gems. How fun! You may join this activity if you visit from the middle of March to the middle of November.
Go Hiking
There’s also much to do when you’re above ground. Hike along beautiful trails around Lincoln Caverns and Warrior Ridge Campgrounds. You will be surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. If you are lucky, you might be able to catch a glimpse of wildlife such as turkeys, rabbits, hawks, deer and different kinds of songbirds. You can also go on a picnic with your family and friends at the covered pavilions.
Attend Special Events
