Contact Us Vacation Guide Check Availability STAY MEET EAT EXPLORE JOIN WYNDHAM REWARDS CAREERS The Caverns at Natural Bridge Natural Bridge Caverns are one of the most popular attractions in our area! Each year, visitors come from near and far to observe these magnificent natural wonders. The caverns were discovered just before the turn of the twentieth century and opened to the public in 1977. Open seasonally, the Natural Bridge Caverns tours descend more than 34 stories deep within the Earth to get to the magnificent natural display. While underground, visitors can explore the caverns and view their many special features, including cavern structures such as the Colossal Dome room. This room is an enormous dome-shaped natural feature that was created over thousands of years. Walking from the dome room, visitors can gaze in-awe at other spectacular sights during the 45-minute tour of the Natural Bridge Caverns. You’ll be amazed by Mirror Lake, the Well Room, and the stalactites and stalagmites that grow from the Canyon Room.

Access The Natural Bridge Vacation Guide Everything You Need to Know About the Caverns at Natural Bridge Formation of the Caverns So, how exactly did these Virginia caverns form? Well, technically, they’re still forming! The caverns are continuously changing through a slow, arduous natural process. Over time, slow-moving water transforms cracks and cavities in the mountain into great large passages. Natural deposits from minerals in the Earth created the cavern structures that the Natural Bridge Caverns are so famous for today. Because the caverns in Virginia are located beneath the Earth’s surface, the temperature remains a cool 54 degrees constantly. We recommend packing a sweater or lightweight jacket any time of year if you plan to visit the caverns! Visit the Caverns The Caverns at Natural Bridge are open March through November and Weekends only December through February. Guided tours generally last about 45 minutes and begin every 60 minutes. We strongly recommend wearing proper walking shoes to this Virginia attraction as the topography can be hard to maneuver otherwise.
