There is an elevator into the caverns, a lit pathway through the cave and at the end, an underground boat ride. It is also located in a beautiful part of NYS, probably about a 3 hour ride from New York City. It is just outside of Cobelskill, New York along Interstate 88 in rural Schoharie County. It also isn't far from Cooperstown. However, adding Cooperstown would probably be too much for a day trip. There are other stops not far from Howe Caverns, such as the Indian museum and the New York Power Authority visitors center at the Gilboa hydroelectric pump storage project. Then you can really freak them out by taking them to nearby Schoharie Reservoir that supplies some of New York City's drinking water from 120 miles away.
