Well, it is time for another “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post and photo and today I am featuring a photo that I took a few months ago when Hubby and I were on vacation up in State College PA.
Hubby and I love to take cavern and cave tours and had the opportunity to tour Penn’s Cave. The only way you can tour this one is by guided boat. A tour guide takes you into the cave & caverns via a motor boat and gives you the history of the cave. The entire tour takes about 40 minutes front start to finish.
Penn’s Cave is located in Centre Hall Pennsylvania which sits right outside of State College. In addition to the cave tour, they also run an outdoor wildlife park which is really fun too. After you are doing with your activities you can shop in their gift shop or grab a quick bite to eat from the cafe.
A lot of the Pennsylvania Caves & Caverns are open for tours year-round so it makes for a great family-friendly activity all year long. You can learn about the history of the cave and all about the ice crystal formations which is really cool to learn.
Anyway, that is my “Almost” Wordless Wednesday photo for this week. Do you enjoy taking tours of caverns and caves? If so, which ones are your favorites?
So cool. I like Natural Bridge Caverns.
That is so amazingly beautiful!! Can you imagine having a wedding in there? Romantic!
Pretty picture! I don’t think I’ve ever been in a real cave or cavern. Do you get claustrophobic? I’m afraid I’d feel the weight of the Earth over my head. Guess that’s one reason I’ve never been in a cave! LOL
It’s been so long I can’t remember the last cave I toured. We toured a few when my family went on vacation and I remember the pictures I took (as a kid) were rather dark, but that was an old camera from the 70s. I’d love to tour more caves and caverns.
This is so on my bucket list!
We live in KY, not too far from Mammoth Cave. I’d love to go through it, but I’m a little bit claustrophobic, lol.
One of my favorites is Howe Caverns near Lake George in upstate NY. Really fun for geology and history buffs.
I love tours of caves and caverns. There are some fun ones that we have toured when we were on vacation in upstate NY.
I haven’t visited any caves or caverns in many years , but I enjoyed it then. maybe I should try to go again. The photo show how stunning the sight can be.
I’ve been to ones in Texas and Carlsbad. I think they’re neat. Great photo.
We like going into the caves and caverns too when we are around somewhere that has them. They have some really neat ice caves in I think Wisconson I would love to see.
That’s a great photo, it looks like a painting. Caves are not always dark and scary places, they can be very beautiful like the cave in the photo. Thank you for sharing this post.
The Lost Sea in Tenn. is a really fun cave with a lake.
We love to go to Carlsbad Caverns NP and to Mammoth Cave NP. They are fascinating!
I haven’t done this in years and would like to it is fun to explore.
