Howe Caverns, Howes Cave

About Howe Caverns

Howe Caverns operates a "Breathe Easy" smoke-free property where visitors explore underground passages on traditional 90-minute cave tours through naturally formed caverns. The venue also offers specialty tours including lantern-led evening tours for ages 16 and older, family flashlight tours on Sunday evenings for ages 5 and older, and the Signature Rock Discovery Tour, a 2.5-hour spelunking expedition that opens sections sealed for over a century. Group tours accommodate students, scouts, and seniors, with options for private bookings. An on-site motel provides overnight stays. The Traditional Tour suits families with children ages 5 and up, though children 4 and under enter free. Tickets are sold online on the venue's site. Booking in advance online saves five dollars per ticket compared to purchasing in person. Howe Caverns is located in Howes Cave, New York, positioned between Albany and Cooperstown.
