- On August 13, 1878, 3 young boys slid through a hole in the ground to discover the amazing Luray Caverns which is about 7 million years old.
- The formations of Luray Caverns grow 1 cubic inch every 120 years.
- In the cave, there is a rock formation that is 144 feet tall and is about 700 years old, making it the biggest and oldest formation in the cave.
- Another giant formation in the cave is oddly lying on its side. But why? A long time ago, the formation fell from the cave's ceiling under its weight and over the years molded into the surrounding rocks.
- Lastly, a body of water named the Wishing Well is found in the caves. The water is crystal clear and its deepest point is 6 feet. If you go on the tour, you are allowed to make a wish and throw a coin into the water.
If you go on the tour of Luray Caverns, you can experience all these wonderful formations and many more!
