Howe Caverns places high value on its local, national, and international reputation and image. Howe Caverns dedicates significant human and financial resources to ensure the achievement of the high standards of tradition and wholesomeness which we have established for ourselves. To preserve, protect, and enhance our more than 70-year reputation as a premier, wholesome, family-oriented natural attraction, Howe Caverns will adhere to its core values and goals and present an image which is traditional, attractive, and inviting to the general public. The Howe Caverns image is represented by (1) the physical appearance of our facilities and employees; (2) the presentation of our invitation through advertising; (3) delivery of the goods and services we provide to our guests.

Working with approximately 18 year-round employees, the Company grows its staff to nearly 200 seasonally. Like many tourist attractions, our busiest months are July and August. We spend over 10 hours with new employees in an Orientation program, which evolves into a year-round training program for all staff to participate. Our strong commitment to service extends to the partnership we forge with our employees.
