Shenandoah Caverns
Shenandoah Caverns was created millions of years ago by underground rivers and earth movements. As water flowed through the soil above, the droplets picked up minerals and deposited them on the ceilings, floors and walls of the open space, creating stalactites, stalagmites, and crystalline formations. Different types of formations grow depending upon the minerals and the speed of the water as it drips, as well as the rock onto which it is dripping.
Shenandoah Caverns is the only caverns in Virginia with elevator access. All tours are personally led by knowledgeable guides who will highlight the wonders of our underground world and answer questions as you walk through many spectacular rooms and passageways. Tours take about one hour in a year-round 56-degree temperature. Bring a light jacket and comfortable walking shoes. Caverns tours cover one mile on a crushed gravel pathway, with some inclines and declines. We do allow wheelchairs and strollers, however, since the caverns are a natural wonder, they cannot be made 100% ADA accessible without destroying their natural qualities.
