Description: Discover Eastern America’s largest and most popular caverns. Luray Caverns, a U.S. Natural Landmark, is noted for the profuse variety of formations and unsurpassed natural color. From well-lighted, paved walkways explore cathedral-sized rooms with ceilings 10 stories high, filled with towering stone columns and crystal-clear pools.
Hear the haunting sounds of the “Great Stalacpipe Organ,” the world’s largest musical instrument. This most unique one-of-a-kind instrument uses stalactites covering 3 ½ acres of surrounding caverns to produce tones of symphonic quality when electronically tapped by rubber-tipped mallets.
Experience the history of America in the “Car & Carriage Caravan,” an exhibit featuring more than 140 items relating to transportation including cars, carriages, coaches and costumes dating from 1725. The new Luray Valley Museum contains a collection of local, restored historic buildings creating a small 19th-century farming community including a museum of Shenandoah Valley showcasing artifacts from the 1750s to the 1920s.
