Great Day trip! If you need to get out of the summer heat for a while, travel to Front Royal, VA into the mountains to Skyline Caverns for a little exploring underground! We traveled(including my mother-in-law who worked as a tour guide oh so many years ago!) to Skyline Caverns earlier this spring. Remember it is not as large as Luray Caverns, but it has many features that you won't see in the bigger cavern. The tour takes about an hour. There is lots of walking. If you have young ones, the tour guide does turn out the lights every so often to explain cave darkness or to change light color. The admission this year (2010) is $16.00 for adults/$8.00 for children 7-13 years of age. Children 6 and under--free. Seniors (62 & older) receive a $2.00 discount. If you go on the website, there is a printable coupon for $2.00 off regular admission for adults and $1.00 discount for children. You can ride on the Mini-Railroad for $3.00 per person. There is also a House of Mirrors for $5.00 per person. There are many places to eat in Front Royal, but bring a picnic lunch. Picnic benches are available.
