Prepare to do a lot of walking inside the caverns, which are not handicap accessible, that date back some 440 million years. The Susquehannock Indians are said to have been the caverns’ first visitors in 1670 with the public first going underground in 1929.

Snap plenty of pictures during your time underground. Although some animals, including bats, live in caves, the proprietors of Indian Echo Caverns assert that it’s pretty rare to see a bat in the caverns.

Dress comfortably for the 45 minute tour underground. Bring a jacket or a sweater, if you tend to get cold in lower temps, as the temperature averages 52 degrees Fahrenheit in the cave all year around.
