    A Land of 'Ahhs' Above and Below the Earth:

    New York State's second most-visited natural attraction is situated on 400-plus acres of land, above the Schoharie Valley offering a breathtaking view. There are lots of things to do that bring out the youngster in everyone. Learn more about activities at and around Howe Caverns.

    In 2005, Howe Caverns is 10 million years old with fun that's always new!

    We celebrated our 75th anniversary in 2004, and in 2005 we added a new Adventure Tour and our own Karst Hydrologist to do programming for scouts, school groups, and more.
