Luray Caverns and Garden Maze:
Stroll along the well-lighted, paved walkways that wind through the huge chambers to explore cathedral-sized rooms with soaring ceilings, towering columns and breathtaking stalactites, and then gaze into mirror-perfect pools. Their knowledgeable guides enrich your experience with stories about the caverns' discovery and the science behind the natural wonders being viewed. The caverns also hold the world's only “Stalacpipe” Organ that plays its hauntingly beautiful music on natural formations.
Unravel the mystery of the maze inside the ornamental garden at Luray Caverns. At Luray Caverns, over 1,500 Dark American Arborvitae, eight feet tall and four feet wide, create a half-mile pathway enhanced with a misting fog. The twisting pathways lead past fountains and into a cave. At 40 points, the challenger must choose a direction to solve the riddle and emerge from the maze. An elevated platform provides relief for those hopelessly lost.
