Reviews
"This was a very interesting place and amazing how well these cars are taken care of and how little they cost back in the day. It is free with the caverns ticket."
"Incredible collection of vintage cars, wagons and coaches. Collection could use a bigger space than it has currently has. Admission included with Luray cavern tickets"
"The car museum was an unexpected delight. Even for those not particularly inclined towards cars, the collection was impressive. From vintage classics to modern marvels, the museum showcased a diverse array of automobiles. The attention to detail and the historical context provided for each vehicle spoke volumes about the dedication and care put into curating this exhibit. In summary, Luray Caverns offers a dual delight - a journey through nature's time-honored masterpiece and a captivating tour of automotive history."
"This is a nice little museum. It’s included with cost of admission to the caverns on the same property. It’s probably a little bit too small as a stand alone attraction, but it’s worth the time to pass through and look around at these old rides while you’re there. One unique thing I liked was the old shop stuff, like the tire vulcanizer, the coil tester, and vintage gas pump. It would be cool if there were more and/or a tour guide(perhaps recorded on a device so you could listen with ear buds). The old kid stuff was interesting. They have a souvenir/gift shop here too."
