take me there!

Crystal cave

In 1871, two farmers blasting for limestone accidentally uncovered something extraordinary beneath the rolling hills of Berks County. For more than 150 years, Crystal Cave has welcomed generations of visitors underground, hosting first dates, family outings, school field trips, proposals, baptisms and countless unforgettable memories 125 feet beneath the surface.
