Carve out some time for a uniquely Pennsylvanian experience that includes a journey through the United States’ largest all-water cave, panning for gemstones, getting lost in a massive maze, and coming face-to-face with some of North America’s native wildlife. Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime on the best day trip in Pennsylvania.
Kick your day off with a 40-50 minute boat tour of Penn's Cave where you'll discover breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites.
Find a spot on your "flat-bottom motorboat" that seats up to 22 visitors. Unfortunately, the tour is not handicap accessible as all visitors must walk down 48 stairs to board their boat.
Join other visitors aboard the Farm-Nature-Wildlife Tour bus. The hour-and-a-half tour will travel over some of the 1,600 acres that house wildlife, including...
Climb aboard a Jeep for a two-hour off-road tour of Cave Rock Mountain that will provide you with spectacular views from scenic vistas. Advanced reservations are required.
Challenge your sense of direction and find your way out of the Miners Maze, a nearly 5,000 square foot puzzle. Don't worry. If you get lost, use one of the four checkpoints to help put you on the right path again.
Enjoy a meal or a quick snack at the Cave Cafe. Peruse the menu that features bison burgers, chili dogs, nachos, fudge, and hand-dipped ice cream, milkshakes, and popular fountain drinks.
Commemorate your visit to Penn's Cave & Wildlife Park with a stop at the Gift Shop, which sells a wide array of souvenirs, including clothes and gifts.
Create lifelong memories when you visit Penn’s Cave & Wildlife Park, the best daytrip in Pennsylvania. Another perfect spot for an unforgettable daytrip is Wolf Sanctuary in Lititz.
