About this activity

Sometimes you only have to look directly underneath your feet to find a great family adventure!

Luray Caverns in Virginia are an incredible experience for the whole family, and really showcase how incredible Mother Nature is! Kids will marvel at the formations all around them as they make their way around sights that were formed over 4,000,000 centuries ago! (Try and work that out kids!)

The caverns were first discovered back in 1878 after a man named Andrew Campbell had his candle blown out by cold air rushing out of a sink hole. And just as well that happened, otherwise we might never have these caverns to explore today!

Your experience at Luray Caverns starts before you even take one step below the surface. You will instantly be taken back in time as you discover the rich history of the Shenandoah Valley at the Luray Valley Museum.

Inside, there are historic items which date back to pre-contact Native peoples, right through to life in the 1920s. How amazing is that! Kids will love to see the recreation of life on a small 19th century farming community, and sneak into the first school for African American children created in the area!

The family can also take a spin through time as you explore an 1892 Mercedes-Benz, and check out the 1908 Baker Electric!

Toy Town Junction brings out the kid in everyone with an amazing train and toy collection, and kids can try and find those gems at the gem sluce!

So much learning already, and you haven't even set foot in the largest caverns in the Eastern states! You will discover enormous chambers, crystal clear ponds, and strange illusions in the reflections!

Get ready for an adventure!
