Activities in the Shenandoah Valley
Luray Caverns
By far the biggest and the best (and most expensive of course). Great hedge maze, superb car museum, and a new local history museum.
Skyline Caverns
Much smaller and more intimate, avoid the crowds
Shenandoah National Park
A 197,000 acre mountain wonderland. Great vistas from Skyline Drive and wonderful hiking trails.
Antiquing
Many options along beautiful old route 11 from Strasburg to Harrisonburg passing through many little towns preserved when traffic was diverted to Interstate 81 forty years ago.
Horseback Riding
A number of liveries in the Valley let you exercise your backside
Massanutten Water Park
A large new indoor/outdoor water park open year round
Civil War Battlefields
The Civil War raged in the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester alone changed hands 72 times.
Zipline Tours
