A great interaction with nature that is thousands of centuries old. I had no idea what I was going in for. Before you go into the caverns, a ranger hands you headphones and an audio device. Then you look for the green signs that say which numbers to punch into your device to listen to the information on that specific... more

It is a beautiful place to visit. It is one of the most spectacular wonders. The cave has walkways which are well-lighted. Inside the cave you will get to see very clean pools, towering columns of different shapes and sizes. You will also get to hear beautiful tones made by musical instrument inside the cave. The car museum near by... more

Just a few hours drive from the DC metro area and well worth it. My parents, my kids (12 & 10) and I really, really enjoyed the self-guided tour. Seperate lecture channel for kids. more

We enjoyed our visit to Luray Caverns. The self guide tour worked for us, no rush. We went to the Artisian Grill for lunch after that and the food was great. more

I have lived in Virginia for 42 years and never visited this much-advertised attraction--until last weekend. We approached the area by crossing over the beautiful Skyline Drive, home to part of the Applachian Trail. As we arrived at the reception center, we were in awe of the beautiful mountains all around us. Little did we know what lay deep below... more

We visited Luray Caverns in September '09 and it was gorgeous. We took a trip up the Shenandoah Valley, visited four Caverns, and by far Luray had the most to see. We had read several reviews complaining about the headset tours (you go thru the caverns without a tour guide). We loved it. We could spend as much time in... more

We have been to several cave systems around the states, and loved the Luray caverns the best. Around every corner was something more awesome. It was just awe inspiring. I really liked that it was not a guided tour, head phones are supplied, and then you can go at your own pace. Don't miss the car and carriage museum that... more
