Things to Do

From Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park to local art, family attractions, scenic walks, and outdoor adventure, there are plenty of ways to spend a day in and around Luray. Visit a rescue zoo, catch a movie downtown, walk the paved Luray-Hawksbill Greenway, or try a zipline or ropes course.

Some attractions share a location or admission structure. General admission to Luray Caverns includes the Car & Carriage Caravan Museum, Shenandoah Heritage Village, and Toy Town Junction; the Garden Maze and Rope Adventure Park are separate experiences with separate pricing. Destinations extend beyond downtown Luray into Page County and Shenandoah National Park, so check each listing’s location, hours, and planning details before setting out. For vineyard, brewery, cider, and spirits stops, visit Wineries & Breweries.
