Indian Echo Caverns - Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Oliver Neuner

Sehr interessante Höhlen. Leider sprach der Führer sehr leise und konnte sich auch nicht gegen die ganzen quatschenden Kinder durchsetzen.

I enjoyed visiting the place. Location is easy to find. There’s ample parking. Getting tickets for the tour is straightforward, you just get them inside the gift shop or online. There’s a gift shop to browse, a playground, and some goats, alpacas, chickens and peacocks to keep you and your kids busy while waiting for the tour.

The 45 minute tour inside the cavern was a chockful of information and stories told by a reliable guide. It went by too quickly though. My group had a lot of people so we crowded each other in some places. Maybe it would be better to limit the number of people in a group tour to avoid instances where some in the group have little time to look at stuffs because they’re way at the back.

The cave is well lighted and well maintained, but shoes with traction are a must because the ground inside is wet and a bit slippery. The guide is very conscientious at reminding folks to watch their heads because there are parts where the ceiling is too low and bonking your noggin is gonna hurt. It’s cold inside so wearing a jacket helps. I forgot to ask the guide if the 52 degree temperature inside remains constant even when it’s minus degree outside. Maybe it does.

Anyway, one of downside is you need to take a 71-steps stair to get to the entrance of the cave. So this might be a challenge or a difficulty for people with bad knees. But all in all, the formations inside the cave are so interesting to look at as well as the mirror lake it has.

I’m taking out one star because they seem to be not taking care of their chickens or roosters in that aviary. The two I saw have severe scaly leg mites. One handsome rooster with a rockstar head feathers and looking like it’s wearing a polka dot white sweater had it bad. He kept pecking at his legs. Another one could barely walk because of the mite infestation. It looked like it was growing another set of feet from the thick scale formation, which oddly reminded me of the stalactites in the cave. Please take care of these chickens and treat their scaly legs!!!

Caverns were cool and a bit damp. I loved that it had a small pool of water which looked so vibrant. The walk is easy, paved, barely any stairs which is very convenient for people that don’t like to climb in caves however there are quite a few stairs to reach the caverns. Not exhausting definitely doable. It also has a few chickens and goats and llamas near the entrance of the store.

This was a great experience. Our tour guide was awesome! It was really interesting to hear about the history of this place.
There's quite a few stairs down and areas where you'll need to duck to get under. It's about 50 degrees in there, so the website recommends a coat. We had light jackets and got a little overheated. Unless you're someone who is always cold, I wouldn't wear anything too heavy. You're not allowed to take I a purse/bag, so carry cash on you if you'd like to tip the tour guide. While waiting for the tour to start, they have beautiful peacocks and adorable goats. I definitely recommend this place.

Great experience. Our tour guide was very funny and knowledgeable. We appreciated him pointing out areas above ground both before and after we were in the caves. This gave us a great perspective of where we were. The caves were gorgeous. Well worth the visit.
