Boasting rare, white-spiked anthodites – mineral formations that look like sea urchins – these caverns are Front Royal's main claim to fame. Guided tours leave the visitor center every 20 minutes. Children also enjoy the Enchanted Dragon Mirror Maze (child over five years $6) and mini train rides (child over three years $6).
