Seneca Caverns Set to Kick Off 90th Season this Weekend

Seneca Caverns, one of Ohio’s greatest natural underground adventures, is set to kick off their 90^th season this weekend, Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7.

Seneca Caverns will be open from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday with the last cave tour departing at 4 pm. Beginning Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day, Seneca Caverns is open seven days a week from 9 am to 7 pm with the last cave tour departing at 6 pm. Seneca Caverns is located at 15248 East Township Road 178, outside of Bellevue, Ohio.

Seneca Caverns has been retained close to its original, natural, wild state, this subterranean tour is truly a unique and educational experience. Visitors will have the opportunity to peek at what is under the ground that is walked on every day. They will walk natural stone steps and pathways that will lead them through seven rooms or levels. They will feel the temperature cool as they progress into the cavern. The largest room is 250 feet in length. At the lowest level, 110 feet below the surface, they can see Ole’ Mist’ry River; the crystal-clear flowing stream which is part of the vast groundwater system underlying the surrounding region.

After the tour, visitors can try their hand at mining just like they did in frontier days at the Seneca Mining Company. This experience is a fully operational sluice with flowing water, where they can pan for gemstones, minerals, crystals, arrowheads, and fossils.
