Laurel Caverns Near Pittsburgh Will Take You 150-Feet Below The Earth's Surface

Hey, explorers and adventurers! How lucky are we to live in Pittsburgh, where we’re always just minutes away from outdoor adventures? Whether we like take-your-breath-away adventures like skydiving or not-so-intense experiences like hiking the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, we can all find something to keep us happy. And, no matter what level of adventure suits your tastes, you’ll definitely want to add the deepest caverns near Pittsburgh to your bucket list.

Get ready for adventure deep underground when you visit Laurel Caverns, just about an hour and a half from downtown Pittsburgh.

But, the journey is certainly worth it to explore the *deepest* cave in Pennsylvania at 464-feet underground.

Of course, all visitors can join one of the guided tours, which typically last an hour and cover a total 3,000 feet. (The cave features three miles of passages.)

Be prepared for walking up and down stairs on the tour that will take you 150-feet below ground. And, dress appropriately as the caverns maintain a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit all year around.

Or, if you have difficulty walking up approximately five flights of stairs, opt for the 30-minute modified traditional tour that eliminates the stair climbing.

Embark on an even bigger adventure as you explore the sandstone caverns, believed to be the world's largest, by cave rappelling or spelunking.

Then, after you've toured the caverns, head outdoors for spectacular views of the Pennsylvania countryside.

Don't forget to stop by the souvenir shop. Play miniature golf or go panning for gems at Laurel Caverns.

Explore deep below ground at Laurel Caverns, which re-opens for the season on April 24, 2019. (The caverns are closed during the winter months while the bats who live there hibernate.)

Laurel Caverns Park is located at 1065 Skyline Dr., Farmington, PA 15437.
