Saw a hotel brochure for the caverns and were very glad we stopped in for the tour. The tour guide shared not only the facts of the cave and its history but also shared some funny stories about the images on the cave walls. The story of the black box and the hermit that lived in the caves are enough... More

Change of pace from the Hershey Park. Not enough to spend more than a couple hours here but the cave tour was nice. Our young tour guide seemed new but tried hard and did an ok job. The tour was about an hour and there was a small play area and petting zoo that consisted of a couple goats,chickens and... More

As far as caves go, this one is pretty basic. However, the guides are decent and they have enough in the way of little stories about the cave to keep it interesting. Fun for kids.

We had a great time touring this cavern. We went at 10:00 a.m. when they opened and there was no one else there, except many school bus tours (which really did not disrupt us at all).We were the only two on the tour and our tour guide was very friendly and informative. It is very wet in spots and has... More

I visited Indian Echo Caverns on a field trip with my preschooler son. It was an interesting and beautiful place to visit and to learn about. However, the 71 stairs down to the entrance of the caverns and the tight spaces to walk inside make it difficult for people with mobility issues, and also challenging with little kids. I also...

We thought this would be similar to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and it was not even close. The tour guide made up stories for the kids and the adults wanted true facts throughout the tour and we only received minimum. The cave was small so you arer better off saving your money.

These caverns were large and beautiful. We went with two young children, ages 2 and 3, and everyone enjoyed it. There is also a nice playground and some bunnies and chickens that my daughter enjoyed just as much as the caverns.

We had a great tour guide and this tour is good for both kids and parents...the cave is beautiful, fascinating & is always cool so if you go on a hot day if feels like air conditioning. The nice thing about the tour is that we did not feel rushed, but it wasn't crowded that day, either. The whole park... More
