Lantern Tours: A New Light for the Great Cave

As mysterious shadows dance on underground walls, visitors return to the world of Howe Caverns as it was seen by Lester Howe in 1842 -- by lantern light -- a unique and fascinating event for group tours or individuals.

For today's Lantern Tours, Howe Caverns turns out the lights and uses modern lanterns as guests experience the spectacular prehistoric world - including the underground boat ride - in a whole new light!

Lantern Tours are available by reservation. Guests must be age 16 or older to take a Lantern Tour. An adult must accompany those between the ages of 16-17. Call Howe Caverns at 518-296-8900 for pricing and reservations.
