Lost River Caverns
Begin an adventure through the Lost River Caverns, nature's underground wonderland. Located in Hellertown, PA, this chamber provides a mysterious scene formed by the activity of groundwater traveling through cracks in the limestone 250,000 years ago. After exploring the cavern, visit the Gilman Museum to see a collection of unique minerals, curiosities, and gems. Stop by the gift shop for souvenirs or uncover gemstones at the Gem Mill. Reservations are required, so be sure to call ahead!

Check out a hands-on center that provides inspiration and innovation! Your child can participate in over 45 interactive exhibits encouraging STEM education. If your rainy day happens to be on a Tuesday or Saturday, you're in luck! Children under 2 are free and regular tickets are $10.
Watch a Movie
