Lost World Caverns

Lost World Caves is an underground natural system of caverns found just outside Lewisburg, West Virginia. The caves were designated a National Natural Landmark in November 1973 because they "include terraced pedestal-like stalagmites, flowstone, curtains, rimstone, domepits, and waterfalls."

Lost World Caverns is a public cave for those interested in experiencing and understanding the karst geography of the Greenbrier River basin. A half-mile track travels through the main areas of the cave system; the road is lined with informational signage, and a self-guided tour takes around 45 minutes. If you're feeling more daring, opt for a four-hour Wild Cave Tour, which takes tourists deep into the cave system, where they can expect to get filthy as they scramble and crawl through tiny caves. This is one of the Best Day Trips from West Virginia that you should experience.

Make time to visit the dinosaur museum and learn about the creatures that inhabited the globe millions of years ago. In 1964, the remains of a prehistoric cave bear (Arctodus pristinus) were unearthed at Lost World. Imagine what else might be undiscovered! Geodes, minerals, model fossils, and other fascinating, scientific artifacts are available in the gift shop. Bring a picnic lunch and spend some time outside if the weather permits. Meanwhile, meet the farm's horses, goats, llamas, and even a macaw. They are always interested in new visitors.
