Conner's Cave Tours

This is on the calendar above, but I wanted to also post it since it's a great activity this summer!

Best of all, this one is free!

Every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00-4:00 through the end of August, you can take a guided cave tour of Connor's cave at Rockbridge.

Groups leave every 20 minutes or so, and you can just hang out on the platform above the stairs to the cave until the next one goes.

A park ranger will give you and your child a flashlight and a hard hat and then escort you into the cave. Conner's Cave has water at its entrance, so you'll want to wear footwear that can get wet, and they discourage crocs as they tend to be slippery. Aquasocks, pool shoes, old sneakers or rain boots are good options!
