Day Trip: Penn's Cave

Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park

Address: 222 Penn's Cave Road, Centre Hall, Pa.

Penn's Cave, located near State College, is a great place to cool off in summer because the temperature in the cave is a constant 52 degrees.

Your visit will feature a one-hour guided cavern tour by motorboat on an underground stream. Trout swim and jump up for feed along the limestone corridors, stalagmites, stalactites and flowstone cascades.

The farm and wildlife tour is a guided 90-minute motorized tour of more than 1,500 acres of Penn's Cave forests and fields that have been preserved as a natural habitat for birds, plants and animals. North American animals, such as bears, wolves, elk, deer, bobcats, bison, longhorn cattle, mustangs as well as the Penn's Cave icon, the cougar, are seen, along with an African adventure museum.
