Visit Luray Caverns

See one of the world’s most astounding underground stalactite caves at Luray Caverns.

The largest caverns in the Eastern United States and one of the world’s most breathtaking examples of stalactite and stalagmite ornamentation, a visit to Luray Caverns is a must if you are in Shenandoah or the DC region.

This spectacular natural formation, known as Luray Caverns, features enormous chambers – like magnificent cathedral-sized rooms ten stories high – filled with towering stalactite columns, shimmering travertine draperies, flowing veils of calcite and crystal clear mirror pools. You’ll get to explore all of these awe-inspiring features on well-lit, paved walkways winding through the caverns. You will also get to hear the world’s largest naturally-formed musical instrument, the Great Stalacpipe Organ, which makes the stalactites sing by gently tapping them throughout three acres of the caverns. An experience unlike anything else, booking entrance to this phenomenal natural wonder is a highlight of any trip to this part of the United States.
