Luray Caverns

Visiting Luray Caverns was something I'd wanted to do for a long time, and it did not disappoint! Walking through the caverns was like exploring a totally different world. The rock formations are unbelievable, and seeing them up close made me curious about what else might be hidden down there.

A nice bonus was that our ticket included the car and toy museums, which added a lot to the experience. It was fun to see the old cars and unique toys after exploring the caves. All in all, this is definitely a place I'd recommend checking out!

Took the kids because I went as a kid. Still fun and really cool. Sure built up a lot and new things are offered. Fun picture spot. Took about 45 mins to walk the caravan. Got lots of cool pictures.

Great place to visit if you're in Luray or the nearby area.
There was no line to get in on a Thursday morning and there's a large parking lot out front with free parking. There were three giant buses full of children when we arrived, so I assume they do a lot of school tours. The attractions are accessible, they have a ramp to get in. There are bathrooms, a cafe, outdoor seating, a maze and some sort of climbing attraction in the complex.

Tickets are $34 per adult, less for children and seniors to enter the caverns, which includes entry to the car and toy museums (quick walkthroughs you can do before or after the caverns.)

The caverns themselves are beautiful. They did a great job making them accessible to view without destroying too much of them in the process.

There is no tour guide, you can scan a QR code or take a pamphlet to read about what you're seeing as you go through. One star removed because $68 for two adults is pretty steep without a guided tour. $20 per person seems a bit more reasonable.

It was $9 to do the maze, which was cute but definitely geared towards (and full of) children. Not worth it in my opinion.

The car museum is really cool though, highly worthwhile to check out.

I've been wanting to go to Lurray for years now and have finally gotten the chance to go. Took us about 90 minutes to walk thru everything at sloe pace with it being super empty. Deff somewhere to check out and see if your wanting to go. It was gorgeous

Went to sight see on daytrip. Was nice and worth going. Crowded but overall good experience. Dream Lake was cool

Me and my wife stopped in for the self guided tour on 10/24/24 upon arriving at the tunnel entrance we met the most amazing employee that greeted us Courtney . During our 3 hours in the cave we bumped into Courtney a few times . Every single time we kept being amazed by her and her knowledge of the caves . We got recommendations on local coffee shops and other little things to see in the area for our trip back thru .
We can not wait to come back thru in a few days to see the caves again and to see Courtney .
There is also one of the most spectacular carriage and car museums . At the museum there is a small candy shop with real smooth and rich fudge .

This cavern was absolutely gorgeous and I would highly recommend it. This is a 5-star location. However, there wasn't much of an opportunity to learn about the things you were seeing. I met one employee at the organ pipe and was so delighted to hear her description of several items and history of the cave. That was very exciting to get more of the inside scoop of this beautiful natural wonder. I would definitely see if there is some literature about this cavern to read prior to your trip, to help you better understand what you are viewing.

The visit is a self tour, so you can go at your own pace. However, I would still try and go on a day when there is less traffic as some of the beautiful areas can become quite impacted with people. This was an incredibly large cavern and I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, especially considering the amount of people visiting and that Luray Caverns offers the organ pipe area as a venue for weddings and parties. I really enjoyed my visit and highly recommend this visit.

A one hour walk with a stunning experience
Worth to visit. Don't forget to visit Toy Town Junction, Carriage Caravan Museum & Shenandoah Herritage Village too.

Screams Tourist trap! My husband and I and two older kiddos decided to come here and compare Luray Caverns and Shenandoah Caverns that we went to the day prior.

We walked in after tackling the parking lot. We bought tickets pretty fast, but it was already very busy and sensory overload. We went to the left and walk out the back door after squeezing through the gift shop just to get to the exit to go down the long path to the cavern entrance. Once in, they take your photo with a green screen and then we proceed inside. Once there we were giving a quick briefing and we were on our way. That's it. No tour guide explaining things from there. You have the paper/map to do that. But, once in it was so crowded. Everyone stopping for photos ect. We bypassed and went further in to avoid the mass.

Inside I felt like we were looking at the same thing, over and over again. All while trying to navigate the masses. It was exhausting and not enjoyable.

There was garbage here and there. Garbage cans overflowing and that was at like 1pm.

This was an amazing place to visit!
450,000 years in the making! The biggest organ in the country! Just beautiful! I highly recommended!
