This was about a 45 minute tour. walking and climbing steps. located on a scenic river. Our tour guide was funny and interesting. She was well versed in the caves history and architecture. What a great experience and a good place to cool off. Every child should go through a natural cave they will talk about it for many years.

Owner description:
Natural Splendor along the Swatara.Like many caverns in the Mid-Atlantic states, Indian Echo Caverns is a limestone cave. Cut through Beekmantown limestone, which is over 440 million years old, they were formed through the erosive properties of water. As time progressed, geological forces led to an "uplift" of the surrounding limestone, eventually allowing more and more water to flow through the formation. As the water flowed over the limestone, it began to create small crevices, these small crevices led to larger ones, and eventually, over a series of millions of years, it created the caverns as they are today.The temperature inside the caverns is 52 degrees year around.

Very nice cavern, we had an excellent tour guide. Plan your trip so you can visit this cavern. The cost is a bit high (14$ per adult). Suitable for the whole family.

we showed up close to closing time but that didn't bother the staff. they welcomed us and did not rush us at all. be aware this is not a handicap accessible attraction and there are quite a few stairs along with the narrow wet passageways. we were disappointed not to see any bats but thoroughly enjoyed the guided walk through...

Kinda of a neat place. Very interesting, not sure if it is the greatest for very small children. Dark and you can't touch the walls. We loved it and will definitely do more like it!

If you like caverns, you should like this one too. Many beautiful structures. Great on a hot summer day! Reasonably priced.

This was our 2nd time here. Nice cave. Great 1 hour tour. The guide really keeps things interesting for kids. A little pricey but worth it. The stairs on the way back up were a little challenging but not too bad.

My husband and I went there on our weekend getaway and were so excited to see the beautiful caverns. They were indeed beautiful and the tour was ok too. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable; however, at the start of the tour we were forced to stand and repeat several times "we will not touch anything." I understand...

We went on New Year's Eve, I had no desire to drag three small children into a cave on a freezing cold day, but we were in Hershey, and ran out of things to do. I'm glad we did, it was extremely interesting, eerily beautiful. I would recommend to check it out, if you're in the area.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this, wondered if it was just a tourist trap. Very pleasantly surprised. My 67 year old father came with me and my two boys, 10 and 5, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Tourguide Brian was very knowledgeable and funny, and made the experience even better. Awesome views, good for all ages. Takes just...
