Secret Caverns
A quirky family-run cave with hand-painted signs guiding the way. Inside there is a 30-meter underground waterfall.
Only 2 km from Howe Caverns, Secret Caverns offers a very different experience. The entrance is a graffiti-covered cabin, and the road is lined with funny hand-painted signs. The tour descends more than 100 steps underground, passes through narrow passages to an underground waterfall with a drop of about 30 meters, and the cave retains a more natural state. The guides are humorous. The full visit takes about 1 hour, and tickets are cheaper than at Howe Caverns. The cave is open only in the warmer months, and the interior is slippery, so non-slip shoes are recommended.
Opening hours
Approx. May–October 10:00–17:00 (check official website)
