Our Favorite Activities for Kids in Luray

There are so many fun things to do as a family and with kids in Luray, it's a great way to spend spring break as a family or for a fun summer getaway. From hiking to caverns to cows and more, there's a little bit no matter what your family is interested in! Here are a few of our favorites

8 minutes from Hillside House

The Hawksbill Greenway is a wonderful paved walkway through downtown that follows the river. It's a great place to see ducks, fish and birdies. Plus, one end loops around a cow pasture to check out more animals! Stop by Broad Porch Coffee or Main Street Flavors for a treat along the way!

Looking for a few more animals? Check out Wisteria Farm & Vineyard to say hello to all of their chicken, sheep and other farm animals! Enjoy their walking paths and of course a glass of their great vino is never a bad option!

A great way to cool down in the summer is spending the day at Lake Arrowhead Recreational Park! Just outside of town, this stunning lake has a great beach for sand castles and beautiful mountain views! Kayaks and Canoes are available to rent, along with lots of other activities like volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pit, picnic shelters and hiking! Plan a picnic and enjoy a lake day in the mountains!

The Luray Caverns is a staple if you are in the area, and kids will love it just as much as adults! Go on a cave exploring adventure with lots of crazy views!
