Field Trip Ideas in Pennsylvania to Learn About Caves and Caverns

Penn's Cave - Centre Hall

Penn's Cave America's only all-water cavern and wildlife park are nestled in Central Pennsylvania's scenic Penn State Country.

The cavern tour is a guided one-hour tour by motorboat on an underground stream. Along the limestone corridors, stalagmites, stalactites, flowstone cascades and draperies decorate the interior rooms, while underwater, trout swim and jump for feed!

The farm and wildlife tour is a guided 90-minute motorized tour over the thousand acres of Penn's Cave forests and fields which have been carefully preserved as a natural habitat for birds, plants, and animals. North American animals, such as deer, elk, wolves, bears, bison, and mustangs are seen, as well as longhorn cattle.

Come to Penn's Cave and enjoy both tours. You will be entertained, as well as educated about the geology, biology, and geography of Central Pennsylvania.
