In Pennsylvania's Dutch Country, Crystal Cave offers visitors a wonderful and educational experience in geology. Before the tour the audience can view a thrilling slide show with sound and color, showing how caves are formed and decorated by Nature.
The 45-minute guided tour passes a myriad display of stalactite, stalagmite and dripstone formations. These imposing columns are marvels in themselves, and they are only the beginning. Every turn reveals new and startling formations, most of which have been named for the images they evoke. The Cathedral Chamber, the Prairies Dogs, Giant's Tooth, Ear of Corn and Tobacco Leaves, the Natural Bridge, the Indian Head, Totem Pole, and the Crystal Ballroom all are natural creations of exquisite beauty.
This 125-acre facility also features other attractions including a Nature Trail, Indian Totem Poles, an authentic Amish Buggy, and more. There is also a Geological Museum, Miniature Golf (seasonal), and a Theatre, so it is easy to spend an entire day here.
Special rates are available for groups of 15 or more.
