I wanted to thank you and your staff for a wonderful program at Lincoln Caverns. It far exceeded our expectations. Your staff was wonderful, fully knowledgeable about each program they taught, and very patient with the girls. The girls enjoyed themselves so much.
Wonderful and educational tour....definetely has the WOW factor.....Tyler did a superb job as our tour leader....answered everyone's questions....definetely will be back again. We were definately impressed with how long the tour was - it wasn't rushed and it certainly was informative. What a great natural attraction...keep up the great work!
What an amazing and gorgeous natural formation! It really makes you look at the world in a new light when you come out. Keep your eyes peeled for the Wishing Well, it's the coolest!!! Thanks, Tyler, for an amazing tour.
This is our second year and both classes have thoroughly enjoyed the trip. They were excited about sharing their experience with the other teachers and students at the school. This trip is a culminating activity that goes with our rocks & minerals unit as well as our changing earth unit.
Loved the cave tours & gem panning. Lots of activity, it kept the girls busy & excited. Best overnight event I've been to! Very orgainized and PACKED FULL of activities! Wow, what a great trip. It took 2 hours to get there but it was worth every minute. The girls were never bored, always engaged in activity. WORTH EVERY PENNY WE SPENT!
We have been here twice and feel the progam is absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
All the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout this event. They made it very enjoyable. We will be sure to tell others to try this wonderful experience.
Girls attending April 9 - 10, 2010 Junior Combo, Geocaching & Junior Cave Explorer said the programs was... Very Cool! We loved it! Wicked Cool, especially naming the bats! Whoa! This is soooo cool! Girls loved it 100%. They made up a song about it! Thanks girls - we had a great time too!`
Everything was well planned and organized. Loved the craft items made. Wonderful program!
Very well organized, age appropriate activities. We loved it!
Just wanted to let you know we had a great time at Lincoln Caverns. Thank you for all of your help! Also, Kat did a really nice job with the program and tours. All of the adults in our group were impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm. Thanks again.
I just wanted to write you a quick note to say that I really enjoyed BATFEST! I was a little worried when I first got there and saw all the kids. I felt a bit out of place not having any little ones with me! But you did a great job of blending adult and kid activities and I enjoyed myself the entire time and learned a lot! I also wanted to thank you for giving me some names of bat researchers. I have been in contact with the PA game commission, so hopefully I will find some volunteer opportunities to help the bats and to get some relevant experience while I am in the process of selecting a graduate program! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the program this weekend. It was the best GS council program my daughter and I have been to. We really appreciate the time and effort you put into making it interesting, informative and fun for the girls.
I've been going to the Lincoln Caverns since I was 7 years old and I am in my mid 20's now. There is always something new discovered as years progress. Also, if you're a fan of photography it's the perfect place to get some amazing shots inside and outside! I always try to bring new people with me because they never experienced it but they always thank me afterward. Definitely worth the trip and money.
A quick note to say Thank You for an amazing tour by Kat last Thursday. I was in Tyrone with my sons visiting my mother and grandmother and decided to bring them over for a tour (the boys flew in with me from San Antonio, TX). They're 6 a...nd 8 and LOVED it - still talking about it today! Lincoln Caverns is simply an outstandingly preserved natural treasure - thanks for keeping it that way so everyone can enjoy what we experienced! I'm looking forward to scheduling my by-appointment photography tour some time in the near future!Read More
Just attended the last Photography Tour on August 19th. Drove in from OH just for this special experience. I can definitely say I wasn't disappointed. Thanks so much for a wonderful opportunity!
We thank you very much for your generosity and kindness in taking our Vacation Bible School children to the Lincoln Caverns and providing snacks after the tour. Not only the children but also the teachers and helper enjoyed the magnificent God&#...039;s creation. The theme and tour at the Lincoln caverns was memorable event for all the participants. thank you very much and keep up all your good and blessed works!
This Cave illustrates how beautiful nature can be. Many massive flowstones, stalactites (of course), white calcite, and sparking crystals. This is a family-friendly adventure, with great tour guides who take their time with kids and adults. Kids can pan for gems, arrow heads, fossils or choose from a selection of educational books or toys from the gift shop. They have Scout programs, offer cave camp, a haunted house (cave) in October, and Batfest in February. There are nature trails, picinic pavilions, and seasonal campgroud. The cave tours last about an hour and are both educational and entertaining. The caves are 52 degrees year round and Cameras are more than welcome.
Two caves for the price of one, family-friendly, family-run, great reasonably-priced gift shop, gem panning, very friendly for a commercial cave! Each cave is unique, it may not be the biggest or the oldest but I'm favoring this one and I've been to about 20 in the eastern US. They don't use artificial lights to make their cave look better, it's naturally beautiful. And the BATS! They are very abundant (don't worry, you are safe no ones been eaten). Sadly, we didn't spend more than a couple of hours there, we were passing though (nice leg stretch) but plan on taking advantage of more of what they have to offer next time we head East! What you might want to bring: camera, walking shoes or boots (some puddles), jacket, and a small flashlight was helpful with keeping my 4 year old more entertained.
I would lke to thank you for the great cave camp this week. My son was involved for the first time and had a blast! I don't even know if he could tell you what his favorite part was because he loved it all!
Thank you! Great job on the layout and format of our two badge program. We thought all of the workshops were neat and the girls had a blast with learning about caves, bats, fossils & gems. The instructors did a fantastic job, were very knowledgeable. Programs were well thought out and very organized. We liked the variety of workshops with traditional insturction and hands on experiences, keeping all learners engaged!
