Steve’s take
The largest caverns on the East Coast, with a stalactite organ that plays music by tapping actual cave formations. Read that again — they built an organ out of a cave. The underground lake reflection is one of the most photographed spots in Virginia and your kids will remember the cathedral-sized rooms for years. About thirty minutes off I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley. This is the I-81 corridor's must-stop attraction.
