What to bring

Do you have any place to eat on the property?

Snacks, drinks, ice cream, and candy are available for purchase at the Caverns Gift Shop! Though we do not operate a restaurant, we have ample picnic areas in shaded locations around our property. 

Are the caverns stroller accessible?

We do allow strollers in the cavern. However, there are loose gravel paths as well as 12 steps in the beginning and 61 steps at the end where the stroller would likely have to be carried.

Call (540) 635-4545 if you have questions.

Spending money for the Gift shop!
