| Name | Indian Caverns |
| Brief Description | Experience PA's American Indian Heritage Underground! |
| Type | Attraction |
| Category | State College Pennsylvania Historic Site |
| Description | Experience Pennsylvania's Native American heritage, local folklore, and subterranean geology.
Located on scenic Rt. 45 in the beautiful Spruce Creek valley, Indian Caverns has been in almost continuous use since the neolithic era. Serving as a winter shelter for early nomadic tribes, an important fortification and trading post for Algonquin and Iroquois settlements, and a refuge for various criminal elements in more recent times, the cave and environs are rich with local history.
Inside you will explore winding passageways and expansive chambers and see massive and intricate formations that took thousands of years to develop, as well as the mysterious "White Grotto" in which a mineral deposit glows in the dark.
Also on display are a tablet of petroglyphs and a collection of Native American artifacts found inside the cave.
Browsing in our gift shop, fish-feeding in the creek, panning for arrowheads or gems, fly-fishing, and settling into our picnic area for an afternoon lunch provide additional activities. |

Reviews for Indian Caverns
|
| ***** | One of the things that makes Indian Caverns unique is all the history associated with the thing. I expected the pretty standard impressive geology (and there is plenty of that), but it was the Pre-History, Native-American artifacts, and "outlaw" stories that really did it for me. Seriously, the thing has lost buried treasure in it. Entertaining, in addition to being large and impressive.
To those of you that remember Indian Caverns as a standard, old-fashioned "road side attraction," please know that It once might have been, but they really do a good job telling a story out of it now. More like a time-warp than roadside attraction, if you ask me.
Can't help but think kids would love it...
