Stonyman Mining - Side entrance to the gift shop next to the sluices. This is where you go to buy the bags for sluicing and finding gemstones

A very fun visit and activity to do with kids! After a long day of walking through mazes, climbing…read moreon the rope adventures park, then walking through the caverns, this was a perfect endcap to our day. The mining sluices are part of the Heritage Museum. It was really cool with bits of information about the history of the whole Luray area, from pre-historic, to the pre-colonial, to today. Sadly, we showed up about 10 minutes until close, so they encouraged us to move towards the mining sluices and we were able to operate the sluices after the shop and museum closed. So we bought our bags (for a reasonable price) and got to sluicing! A small bag per child was perfect. The kids got through everything in 5 minutes and then had their pretty clean gems to take home. A perfect amount of time for the kids and little prizes to take home. Definitely don't sleep on coming here!

After exploring the caverns, we walked across the street to the Heritage Village where they have a…read moremuseum, small restaurant where you can also buy some Luray wines, the gem sluice, and some other buildings we did not explore due to an approaching thunderstorm. I've seen gem sluices other places, like Myrtle Beach, but never understood the appeal. We were traveling with a 7-year-old this time and his mom really wanted him to experience it. I remained unconvinced until his father started to help him pour the sand into the sieve and the geodes started to appear. Jeremy has recently embraced his love of amethyst and had just bought a geode at the gift shop at the caverns for some crazy amount of money ($65). Our 7-year-old friend came away with one on his first batch, which was nowhere near what Jeremy had spent. Lesson learned, I'm doing the gem mining first, if Jeremy ever starts talking about expanding his rock collection. Our friend also came away with a variety of other gemstones and some sharks teeth. In his second batch of sand, he got another amethyst and the most gorgeous white quartz geode I have ever seen. It was such a fun experience. NOW I understand the appeal. Would recommend.

This place is great, starting with Sola - the owner. Very friendly, accommodating, and great…read moreconversationist. She'll give you great tips on seeing what the town has to offer. Just as important: The goods here are great. I send gift baskets from here for holidays and to clients throughout the year. They are SO much better than the garbage you can order online, for less cost. Sola even ships them for you.

Very Virginia Shop is a Virginia gift shop. It looks a bit older and outdated, but it's really not…read morethat old. It's has been in its location for 17 years. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by an older lady. She asked where I'm visiting from, I told her Connecticut. She said "well, in Connecticut, you're known for Mystic Pizza. Here in Virginia we're known for our peanuts!" I never knew about Virginia peanuts. She handed me a few handfuls of different varieties of peanuts to sample. These peanuts are larger, drier, crunchier than others I've tried, and they have so many flavors. I don't mind peanuts, but they're not my favorite snack. In addition to the peanuts, they also sell the typical things one might find in a touristy gift shop. There's candles, magnets, tee shirts, and other items that say Virginia on them. I liked the outdated look of this little store. The lady working here was very friendly, if it weren't for her I would never know about the Virginia peanuts.
