#6 Howe Caverns and Secret Caverns (New York)
Howe Caverns and Secret Caverns, two underground wonderlands with gorgeous water features, are both located in the small hamlet of Howes Cave in New York’s upstate. The similarities stop here, however.
In Howe Caverns, visitors can take a boat ride over a subterranean lake’s beautiful, quiet surface, while in Secret Caverns, there is a roaring 100-foot subterranean waterfall. The Secret Caverns offer you a wild and adventurous experience that you will not forget very soon. On the other hand, Howe Caverns provide a more organized experience. Whatever you decide on will be well worth your effort and money, and because they are close to one another, we advise visiting both.
There are many tour options available at Howe Caverns, some of which require advance online reservations. These options include regular tours, expedition tours, and specialty tours with overnight stays. Prices for kids aged 5 to 12 start at $15, while for adults they start at $25. Secret Caverns only accepts cash and offers one basic tour; it also does not accept reservations.
