Why you should go…
Discovered in 1878, Luray Caverns is the largest and most-visited cave system in the eastern United States, with cathedral-sized chambers, mirrored pools, and towering stalactite and stalagmite formations. Guided walking tours also pass the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a one-of-a-kind instrument that plays the caverns' own limestone formations.
