Review:

Luray Caverns are one of the Eastern United States' most popular show caves, located in the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley in the shadow of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains.

The caverns were originally discovered in 1878 and first used to provide natural air conditioning for the Limair Sanatorium, which is believed to have been the first air-conditioned residence in the United States. Since 1974, the caverns have been protected as a National Natural Landmark. Today, visitors can embark on guided tours at the caverns and view attractions such as their Great Stalacpipe Organ, a unique natural lithophone formation that can produce musical sounds that mimic the sound of a xylophone.

Other attractions include the mirror-like Dream Lake, along with an outdoor ropes obstacle course and several museums showcasing regional artifacts.
