On the morning of August 13, 1878, the town tinsmith and his party discovered the largest cave system in the east. Groups that come to Luray Caverns will see delicately folded stone formations, an underground lake, the 47’ column inside Giant’s Hall, and the Great Stalacpipe Organ, which uses the cave itself as a musical instrument. Tours of the caverns leave every 20 minutes. Self-guided tours are also available for the nearby Car and Carriage Caravan and the Luray Valley Museum, included in general admission. Groups can also have fun at the Garden Maze, Ropes Adventure Park, and the Gem Sluice.
