Take the 640-foot elevator drop into the bowels of the earth and in 90-seconds you’ll find yourself in the underground salt mine museum known as Strataca. Here in this huge mined-out space to see vast salt rocks, learn about mining, and ride a train through areas that were mined during the 1950s. Take a special tram ride even deeper into the earth if you dare!.

Luray Caverns lie deep beneath the outskirts of Shenandoah National Park. Here you’ll see huge chambers with ceilings more than 10 stories high. Visit Dream Lake, a pool with a surface so glassy it actually mirrors the stalactites above it. Be sure to see the famous Great Stalacpipe Organ too, where a musician plays Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata by striking 37 stalactites of varying sizes with rubber mallets.
