Looking for a pet-friendly weekend getaway from Hampton Roads? Jeremy and Tammy Bell, along with their son Michael, recently discovered that Luray Caverns welcomes small dogs, making it the perfect destination for the entire family—including their dogs, Oliver and Mousy Lou.

"This was the first time we'd ever taken our pets on a vacation with us, and it was absolutely awesome to have them with us," Tammy said.

After exploring the breathtaking caverns, the Bell family enjoyed a scenic drive along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, where they took in the mountain views before heading home.

Located about 3½ hours from Newport News and just under 4½ hours from Virginia Beach, Luray Caverns is an easy weekend road trip for pet owners looking to explore one of Virginia's most popular natural attractions.
