Luray Caverns, that was originally called Luray Cave, is a large, celebrated commercial cave just west of Luray, Virginia, USA, which has drawn many visitors since its discovery in 1878. The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc.). The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithophone made from solenoid fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells.
The path that goes through Luray Caverns starts at the entrance. Next it curves throughout the caverns until you reach Dream Lake. Then it goes in circles downwards until it reaches Saracen's Tent. It goes right to The Great Stalacpipe Organ where it goes next to some big stalactites and stalagmites. Last, it goes to the Wishing Well and goes to a sign where they honor veterans who come from Page County and it climbs out through a small passage where you see the "Fried Eggs" rock formation. At last, it goes out through a smaller passage to the entrance. The entire trek is 1.5Â mi (2.4Â km) long and takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour to finish the journey.

Since shortly after Luray Caverns were discovered, people have been bonking on some of the formations to play tunes! There is a large bell shaped formation called the Organ that the tour guide used to hit with a mallet to play "music," but in 1954, a visitor came up with the idea of creating an "organ" that could be played from a keyboard. He received permission to test over 2500 stalactites, and found 37 that could be used to produce musical sounds. He fine-tuned them by shaving down some of the stalactites until they matched the tone of his tuning forks, then he worked as the "organist for over three decades! Today, the organ keyboard is no longer played on the tours by a human organist; instead, an automated system drives the pistons that whack the stalactites. We shot this video of t...

https://youtu.be/VXPliJ_dXHQ Luray caverns Virginia - beautiful We went to Massanutten, Virginia to play at the water park for the weekend and on our way home we decided to stop at Luray caverns. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to pay the $30+ for each person but I figured we drove all that way and it'd be a good experience for our kids - 9 & 11yrs old. Well....WOW! Is ALL I could say! It is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Absolutely amazing that this is all underground and gorgeous! It's something I recommend everyone do at least once, albeit expensive. Check out my other Luray caverns videos to see different areas of the place. I know you can see it on my videos, but it's still something else to be IN the place and witness it first hand.

We got separated from our tour group in Luray Caverns in Luray, VA and had the opportunity to go at our own pace through the caverns without anyone else around. The tour guide had told us to walk at the end of our group since we were a 'distraction', but one of our children is deathly afraid of dogs, and one was in the tour group (despite a big sign saying NO PETS at the entrance). Therefore, we let them get way ahead before beginning our trek. If you like caves or adventure, I hope you love this video. Thanks for watching!
