CaveSim

We're excited to be bringing CaveSim to Pocahontas State Park this coming Monday (October 20th) for a free public program!

Crawl, climb, explore! 🧗‍♂️ CaveSim is back in Virginia for two days only—offering a hands-on, high-adventure cave experience for curious kids of all ages. Free to attend! 📍 Pocahontas State Park 🗓️ Monday, Oct. 20 | 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. 🚗 Parking fee waived 📍 Children's Museum of Richmond 🗓️ Tuesday, Oct. 21 | 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. 🎟️ No museum admission required

So glad to be back at Luray Caverns with CaveSim this week! We've had lots of adventurous kids and adults explore, including members of the National Caves Association!

Check it out! Our friends from CaveSim 👷‍♀️ are here all week with their crawl-through electronic cave simulator. Come by Luray Caverns now through Friday 9/26 and learn all about exploring cave systems without disturbing cave formations. Yes, they’ve even got cave bacon 🥓.

CaveSim designs, builds, and uses interactive caves to teach kids about conservation and science, but this experience is also fun for adults!

A big thank-you to Nigel Dyson-Hudson and Southeast Expedition Medical for donating several emergency foot loops for us to use in CaveSim educational programs and trainings. Nigel also donated an inclinometer and survey tape measure which we used to teach kids at the 2025 NSS Convention.
