If you love gazing various animals enjoying their natural habitat, it's time to step up to the wild. And if you like exploring limestones in caverns or adore the beauty of stalactites and stalagmites, it's time to step down underground.
"Where can I do all that?", - you might ask!
Penn's Cave & Wildlife Park is worth visiting for activities mentioned above. You can enjoy farm, nature and wildlife tour all-in-one!
The park is located in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania, nestled on the scenic Lion country. It has 1,600 acres of forests and fields providing a lush habitat for birds, plants and other animals. Depending on the season, you can also witness acres of sunflowers.
Taking the cave tour is a must too! The cavern was discovered centuries ago by the Seneca Indians in the Valley of Karoondinha (Penn's Valley) and became open to the public in 1885. it's now considered as the only cavern in Pennsylvania on the National Register of Historic Places.
There are interesting mysterious shapes that you can even see underground such as the famous Nittany Lion, colored lights and even the statue of Liberty if you can let your imagination run wild!
Other activities you can enjoy at the park site as well are the cave rock mountain tour, a tour off-road by jeep (needs advance reservation) and the Prospector Pete's Miners Maze located near the end of the Visitor's Center. This would be fun for the kids!
There's also a gemstone panning site on the front plaza of the Visitor's Center if you are interested trying your luck to look for real gems. Or visit the gift shop for anything you might wanna buy.
Please observe their schedule for tours and opening. They can easily be located online if you want further info.
