Geode Cave
Come have fun in our cave display and crack open your own geode
Enter our man-made replica “cave” inside the nature center and see what treasure you can find! Search for your very own geode rock. Once you find the one you want, you have the opportunity to crack it open. No way of telling what you might have; a crystal druse, a solid crystal? Your treasure will be yours to take home. While you wait your turn in the “cave” join in the fun at the information stations, Lenape Games and stories, or make your own cave art pictographs and petroglyphs. The nature center’s gem sluice will also be running and available for an additional $3.
Supplies of geodes
