Luray Caverns

Luray Caverns, formerly known as Luray Cave, is a cave located just west of Luray, Virginia, in the United States. Visit Luray Caverns if you're seeking for one of the top day trips from Richmond. Since the cave system was discovered in 1878, the Luray Caverns have been a famous tourist attraction in Virginia. It is now one of Virginia's most popular attractions for those who desire to walk down into the depths of the state's underground cave systems. Speleothems such as columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and mirrored pools embellish the cavern system. Because it is so popular, you should plan ahead of time to purchase tickets, or have a flexible schedule so you can get tickets for whatever time slots are still available on the day of your visit.

The prices of the tickets vary depending on your age. The caverns also provide a variety of deals. The Luray Caverns are the largest in the Eastern United States, with some very beautiful underground rock formations. The walkways on the route are entirely paved and well-lit. You'll pass through a cavern room with a ten-story-high ceiling, optical illusion rooms, and layers of folded rock. It's named the Geologist Hall of Fame, and once you step inside, you'll understand why.
