Woodward Cave

Explore Woodward Cave

One of the largest caverns in Pennsylvania, its nickname, "The Big One," reflects its five spacious rooms, one of which, "The Hall of Statutes," is 300 feet long. Experienced guides conduct a well-explained, easily walked tour in large, well-lit passageways that offer 50 minutes of nature at its best.

The rooms you will visit in Woodward Cave include the Ballroom, actually used for square dances and banquets.  In the Square Room, you will be shown delicate rare Helictites, cave coral, and more. The Hanging Forest features the largest collection of stalactites found in the cave, along with ribbon formations and flow stone. Next, in the Hall of Statues, you will be amazed at one of the largest stalagmites in the region, the Tower of Babel, 14 feet high. The Upper Room completes the tour with a spectacular cathedral ceiling rising 60 feet from the floor below.
